Description

Jack Frost Brunnera showcases magnificent, heart-shaped leaves adorned with a distinctive silver overlay and striking green venation. In spring, lovely clusters of delicate, sky-blue blossoms rise above the foliage, creating a stunning layer of interest in shady locations. This brunnera is known for its satisfying foliage presence all season, and deer typically avoid it. It also adapts well to containers, bringing a refreshing pop of brightness to shaded porches or patios.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in partial to full shade, requiring at least a few hours of indirect or dappled light each day.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly damp, especially during warmer periods; brunnera appreciates regular moisture to maintain its vibrant leaves.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture; keep mulch slightly away from the crowns.
  • Pruning: After the bloom period, remove spent flower stalks to maintain a neat appearance; allow the foliage to die back naturally in fall or cut it down in early spring.

Jack Frost Brunnera delivers a modern and uplifting focal point to Michigan landscapes, offering a gorgeous combination of silver-splashed leaves and spring blooms that remain delightfully eye-catching throughout the growing season.
