Plant description
The heart-shaped leaves of this low-growing perennial are so heavily patterned with silver, that only the veins and outer edges have retained their green colouring. Appearing each spring, this foliage is soon accompanied by sprays of small, rich blue flowers.
Brunnera macrophylla 'Sea Heart' makes a gorgeous groundcover for a border, it can also be used to soften the edges of a pot.

How to care for Brunnera macrophylla Sea Heart (PBR):
Incorporate a generous amount of composted organic matter or well-rotted manure into the backfill during planting, but choose a shady spot to preserve the vibrant foliage.
Water newly planted perennials regularly for their first year to encourage successful establishment, providing extra water during long dry spells.
Apply a mulch of garden compost or well-rotted manure to the soil surface annually in spring to enrich the soil. Remove spent flower spikes after the last bloom has faded.
Once established and if desired, lift and divide the plant every two or three years in late autumn.
