More Information

Description As a true silver-leafed plant, 'Sterling Silver' Siberian bugloss (or Brunnera) might be the iciest plant on the market. Large heart-shaped leaves are entirely silver with deep green veins, which shimmer even in full shade. Leaves are massive, reaching 7-8" wide in the summer, but don't be surprised if they look a little smaller in spring. The leaves don't fully develop until their spring flowers fade. But don't worry, the plant's forget-me-not-like flowers are worth waiting for.

Siberian bugloss, or Brunnera, are reliable and hardy shade perennials with silver foliage. Sprays of forget-me-not-like flowers rise above its low-mounding foliage in spring, which can be enjoyed alongside lungworts, foamflowers, or other spring bloomers. Given that it's low maintenance, deer resistant, and tolerant of shade, it's effortless to grow for gardeners of any level. Create an eclectic woodland garden by pairing it with other shade foliage plants, or plant it in masses for an attractive ground cover. However you use it, you can't go wrong!
Details Botanical name: Brunnera 'Sterling Silver'
Patent: PP#31280
Common name: Heartleaf brunnera
Zone: 3 - 8
Sun exposure: Shade (-4 hrs/day) to part shade (4-6 hrs/day)
Height x width: 10-14" X 20-24"
Flower color: Sky blue flowers
Foliage color: Silver with green veins
Bloom time: Spring
Features: Wet soils, rain gardens, proven winners, heat tolerant, ground covers, deer resistant, cold tolerant
Uses: Container gardening, edging, ground cover, mass planting, ornamental, small spaces, specimen, under planting, woodland
How To Grow Soil: Average to humus-rich soil.
Light: Full to part shade - can tolerate six hours of indirect sun each day. Shade is necessary for healthy plants and abundant blooms. If exposed to more sun it will require moist soil or supplemental watering to keep foliage from burning.
Water: Moderate, prefers even moisture.
Spacing: Plant 2' apart.
Fertilizing: Grow in well-drained soil that is moderately fertile and humus-rich. Fertilizing at planting time or during the first growing season is not recommended. If soil is poor in quality a light scattering of garden fertilizer in spring should be sufficient.
Winterizing: Keep old foliage over winter to protect crowns. After the ground freezes, apply a loose layer of mulch - oak leaves, pine boughs, or straw. You can gradually remove mulch, and cut back old foliage in early spring.
Maintenance & pruning: When the clump starts to deteriorate in the center, it is time to divide it. Plants may be divided easily in early autumn. Plant crowns at soil level. Sometimes self seeds generously, but usually the seedlings have plain green leaves. Remove any green foliage that appears on variegated forms

Great plants, packaging needs to be reconsidered.

I ordered plants from several online sources this year. All were received in good condition, but those from Great Garden Plants took the longest to unpack, lost the lost stems during this process, and generated the most unrecyclable waste. Why? Stapling moisture retaining plastic to the pot is simply unnecessary. No other vendor does this. Proven winners itself does not do this. Please reconsider this step in your process.

Thank you for contacting us. We apologize you received plants not up to our standards. As we try our best to provide exceptional service, some factors like shipping and handling are outside of our control, causing issues like this to sometimes occur. Please email pictures of any plant in question to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible.

Healthy plant

New plants are thriving in our tough soil. This plant is a nice contrast to the mulch and natural area. Bold leaves. Very pleased.

Really sad!

I lost all the plants I bought in the fall in the fall of 2022.
