Brunnera macrophylla ‘Silver Star’ is a distinguished perennial celebrated for its stunning, variegated foliage and charming blooms. Featuring large, heart-shaped leaves with striking silver overlay and prominent green veining, that draws the eye and adds a touch of luminosity to shaded garden areas. The foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, offering lasting visual interest. In spring, ‘Silver Star’ produces delicate clusters of small, sky-blue flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots. These blooms rise above the foliage on slender stems, creating a lovely contrast against the silver-patterned leaves and adding a splash of colour to the garden during the cooler months. Ideal for shady or partially shaded locations, Brunnera macrophylla ‘Silver Star’ thrives in moist, well-drained soil and is relatively low maintenance. It forms neat clumps, making it an excellent choice for weed-suppressing groundcover, underplanting, or as an accent in woodland gardens and shaded borders. Resistant to deer and rabbits, it is also less susceptible to pests and diseases. ‘Silver Star’ is perfect for adding texture, colour, and a touch of elegance to shaded garden spots, enhancing the overall landscape with its unique beauty. Grows up to a height of 45cm with an eventual spread of 40cm.
