Brunnera macrophylla ‘Sterling Silver’ (Siberian Bugloss) is a highly ornamental perennial prized for its luminous silver-grey foliage highlighted with fine green veining. The large, heart-shaped leaves form a dense, ground-covering mound that brings brightness and contrast to shaded garden areas
In spring, it produces delicate sprays of small, vivid blue flowers similar to forget-me-nots, creating a soft seasonal contrast against its striking foliage. Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and containers, this low-maintenance perennial thrives in cool, sheltered conditions with consistently moist, well-drained soil
