Brunnera Looking Glass

Featuring striking silvery green coloured foliage, Brunnera Looking Glass is a stand out for its shiny, reflective leaves, which give it a unique, almost metallic appearance. This slowly spreading perennial is an excellent choice for adding stunning highlights to the shaded spots in the garden.

Brunnera are commonly known as False Forget-Me-Not, this perennial is loved for its vibrant blue flowers that resemble the classic Forget-Me-Not, along with its striking heart-shaped foliage. Brunnera makes an excellent ground cover, as it stays low and spreads gradually without becoming invasive or weedy.

Thriving in partial to full shade, Brunnera prefers a moist, well-drained soil. While it can tolerate dry spells once established, it performs best when kept consistently moist, especially during the hot summer months. Showing off attractive foliage throughout the growing season, some varieties even feature beautifully variegated foliage with silver or white markings.

In addition to its lovely foliage and flowers, Brunnera is a hardy perennial that is perfect for woodland gardens, shade borders, and as a companion plant in beds or containers. Its tolerance to a variety of soil types makes it a reliable choice for many garden settings.
