BRUNNERA macrophylla 'Variegata' - "Great Forget-me-not" or "Siberian
bugloss" or "Alkanet" (BROON-er-uh
mak-ro-FIL-a) BORAGINACEAE. This choice showy plant has large creamy white
leaves with green centers. Plants need a bright
shady location with good moister to grow their best but they are not
difficult. this is a very showy plant and well worth the small amount of
work to keep in from drying out in the summer. Plants are durable though
and will live threw drought and high water but to really make this gem
stand out in perfection - keep the soil moist and the hot afternoon sun off
it. Dry sunny locations will cause the leaf edges to burn. This is a
real stand out in the garden and not many plants can compete with its large
white leaves. Same forget-me-not like (light) blue flowers as the above
plants. Best suited for cool moist locations.
