Notes
'Diane's Gold' Siberian bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla 'Diane's Gold') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland settings, borders, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It forms a clumping mound that spreads 12 to 24 inches, and bees visit the blooms in spring and again in summer. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Give the clumps room to fill in.
Pairs well with Obsidian coral bells, Aurea tufted sedge, and Lily of the valley.
