Brunnera macrophylla is the perfect plant for shady gardens. With mid-green, heart-shaped foliage and forget-me-not like blooms forming on tall stems, it's great for edging paths and mixing with other shade-tolerant plants, particularly in woodland borders.
In contrast with most cultivars, 'Betty Bowring' has delicate, pure white flowers. It's more tolerant of sun than some varieties, but only if grown in a moisture-retentive soil. Learn more in our Brunnera grow guide.
