How to care for Brunnera macrophylla Hadspen Cream:
Remove the faded flower-heads after flowering. Lift and divide the plant every two or three years in late autumn. Cut back foliage after it has died back in autumn, and at the same time apply a generous layer of mulch around the root ball.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
