Shelly, I've had Brunnera 'Variegata' in my front garden for many years
where it has performed beautifully and never reverted to green. But
reverting to green is a characteristic of any variegated plant. Usually not
the whole plant, but stem by stem. The green is dominant over the
variegated, so the green should be removed. However, if it is your whole
plant! - I just don't know what to tell you. Personally, I would cut the
green foliage off and see what re-grows.

A friend of mine bought a pricey variegated Brunnera--looks so much like
forget-me-nots, it's unbelievable-- but by its second year, has not produced
any new foliage that is variegated. ( It is "Variegata"). ALL the new
growth is plain green.
Any clue?? Thanks for any info
