Siberian Bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla)

Siberian Bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla), also known as False Forget-Me-Not, is a hardy, shade-loving perennial cherished for its heart-shaped foliage and delicate clusters of sky-blue flowers. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and ground cover applications, providing season-long interest with its lush green leaves and early spring blooms.

Distinctive Features

Siberian Bugloss forms a dense clump of broad, textured green leaves that create an attractive ground cover. In early to mid-spring, sprays of small, bright blue flowers resembling forget-me-nots rise above the foliage, adding a soft and charming touch to the garden.

  • Soil: Thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil.
  • Water: Moderate to high moisture needs; prefers consistently moist conditions.
