Product Description

Brunnera macrophylla ‘Langtrees’ (25) Bare Root Plantss Common Name: Heartleaf Brunnera, Siberian Bugloss. Zones 3 to 8. Part Shade to Full Shade. Plants reach 12 to 15 inches tall and 12 to 15 inches wide; Herbaceous perennial with clumping habit that form thick ground covers. Growth rate: spread vigorously by both creeping rhizomes and self-seeding.

An unusual variety of Brunnera, ‘Langtrees’ is characterized by having dark green leaves with silver spots between the veins. The leaves appear to have a shine to them because of these spots, as if they are reflecting the sunlight. From mid to late spring, clusters of tiny, baby blue flowers contrast nicely with the dark foliage.

Brunnera is a woodland plant that is easily grown in average, well-drained soil. Intolerant of dry soils, it prefers consistently moist, organically rich soil. In northern zones, morning sun is tolerable as long as the soil remains moist, and it needs to be grown in full shade with consistently moist soil in southern regions.

Once established little care is needed. Cut back the old foliage in the spring rather than in the fall; it will help to protect the crown during the winter. Winter mulch is also recommended. Though Brunnera tends to self-seed, the resulting seedlings are easy to pull out from unwanted areas or to replant elsewhere in the garden. It may also be propagated by division in the spring.

Attributes: Border plants, Container, Cut flower or foliage, mass planting. Deer resistant.
