Notes
'Looking Glass' Siberian bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla 'Looking Glass') 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 6 to 18 inches tall and wide. Blue flowers appear in spring and again in summer, and bees visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Regal Splendor hosta, Canadian white violet, Autumn crocus, and Canada wild rye.
