Brunnera macro. 'Jack Frost'

A standout for shaded borders, Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’ forms neat clumps of large, heart-shaped leaves with a distinctive silver sheen and green veining, bringing light to darker corners. In spring it carries airy sprays of small, forget-me-not–like blue flowers, creating a soft contrast above the foliage. Grow in partial to full shade in moist, fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil; consistent moisture helps the foliage look its best through summer. Ideal for underplanting shrubs, edging paths in shade, and woodland-style planting; fully hardy and low-maintenance once established.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
