Notes
'Sterling Silver' Siberian bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla 'Sterling Silver') is a perennial for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade. 'Sterling Silver' is a sport of 'Looking Glass' with silver leaves and green veins. The leaves are larger, up to 8 inches wide, and the plant handles heat better. Blue forget-me-not-like flowers appear in early to late spring.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Dog's tooth violet, and Artist tulip.
