Re: brunnera

It did indeed revert. A not-uncommon happening with the fully variegated forms 
when divided too much or into too small a bit. The plant is infamous for this 
response.  Further division will not hurt or help.  The plant you now have has 
reverted and in my experience will not throw any more variegated shoots. Having 
said that - I stand to be corrected by someone who has had a reversion re-
revert so-to-speak.  Don't bet the farm. :-(
