Brunnera ‘Alexander’s Great’ is a spectacular foliage plant, prized for its huge, heart‑shaped, silvered leaves with striking green veins and edges. In early spring, the plant is covered with soft clouds of forget‑me‑not blue flowers, creating a beautiful contrast against its shimmering foliage.

Thriving in partial to full shade, Brunnera grows best in free‑draining soil or compost and is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, damp spots near water features, or containers.

Your 5cm garden‑ready plug plants arrive strong and healthy, ready to plant directly into the garden or pot on until you’re ready.
