Brunnera macrophylla 'Langtrees'
Common Name: Heartleaf Brunnera, Siberian Bugloss
An unusual variety of Brunnera, 'Langtrees' is characterized by having dark green leaves with silver spots between the veins. The leaves appear to have a shine to them because of these spots, as if they are reflecting the sunlight. From mid to late spring, clusters of tiny, baby blue flowers contrast nicely with the dark foliage.
Brunneras are classic perennials that are treasured for their shade tolerance and lovely blooms. They make a fantastic groundcover, though the variegated forms may be slower to spread than the species. Try growing them in containers too so they will be close at hand when you want to snip a few blooms for a spring bouquet.
