Notes
'Variegata' Siberian bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla 'Variegata') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It forms a clumping mound that grows at a moderate pace. Bees visit the blooms in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Blue wood aster, and Arrowwood viburnum.
