Brunnera macrophylla ‘Alexander’s Great’

Make a bold statement in the shade garden with this dramatic brunnera, prized for its enormous heart-shaped leaves brushed in shimmering silver with deep green veining and edges. In spring, sprays of tiny sky-blue flowers rise above the foliage, resembling delicate forget-me-nots.

Its large leaves create striking texture in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and containers, pairing beautifully with hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving perennials. Easy to grow and deer resistant, this variety brings season-long interest even after blooming ends.
