About the Brunnera, Chinese Forget-Me-Not
Brunnera is a lovely, mounded, clump forming perennial that is capable of illuminating shady spots with heart-shaped foliage covered in silver-white markings and veins. Blooms are like baby blue forget-me-nots above reflective, fuzzy, bold textured foliage. It’s a great deer resistant alternative to Hosta. Shop our selection of Brunnera varieties online now.
