About this plant
Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' is a captivating perennial prized for its dramatic, heart-shaped leaves that appear dusted with a silvery sheen, creating a luminous effect in shaded areas. The intricate silver variegation beautifully contrasts with the deep green veins, ensuring season-long visual interest even when not in bloom. In spring, a profusion of tiny, sky-blue, forget-me-not-like flowers emerge on delicate, airy stems, floating above the foliage. These charming blooms add a subtle burst of color, attracting early pollinators to your garden. 'Jack Frost' is a RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, renowned for its exceptional beauty and reliable performance. This low-maintenance plant forms a neat clump, making it an excellent choice for borders, woodland gardens, or as a vibrant groundcover under trees and shrubs. Its unique foliage brightens dark corners and pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving plants.
