Brunnera (False Forget-Me-Nots): Shade-Loving Perennial for Colourful Borders

Brunnera, commonly called false forget-me-nots, is a charming perennial in the Boraginaceae family, prized for its heart-shaped, silver or variegated leaves and clusters of bright blue flowers that bloom in spring. Perfect for shady or partially shaded areas, Brunnera thrives in moist, well-drained, rich soil, making it an ideal choice for ground cover, shaded borders, and woodland gardens.

This low-maintenance plant adds texture and colour to darker garden spaces, complementing other shade-loving species beautifully. With its striking foliage and delicate blooms, Brunnera is a must-have for gardeners seeking elegance and resilience in shaded landscapes.
