Homeowner Growing Tips: An easy-care plant. Prefers shade & rich, moist soil. Some morning sun is fine in northern climates, if soil does not dry out. To protect the crown of the plant over winter, apply a mulch, and wait until the spring to cut back the leaves.

Lovely accent plant

The Brunnera is a lovely accent plant that lends soft silver/white hues to a mostly green garden. Doing well under dwarf magnolia tree along with annuals and grasses. Quality is excellent; plants thriving with some neglect..

This is the second Sterling Silver Brunera I have bought, and in my opinion, it will probably take three--four years to haver a significant clump. But it is s very nice, distinguished looking plant.
