Brunnera macrophylla ‘Sea Heart’
Brunnera 'Sea Heart' is a sturdier 'Jack Frost' with larger thicker leaves and more heat and humidity tolerance.
‘Sea Heart’ looks much like ‘Jack Frost’ but with some important differences: ‘Sea Heart’ has larger, thicker leaves, it blooms a few weeks earlier with flowers in blue and lavender rather than just blue and it is more tolerant of heat and humidity. Brunnera are great garden plants for shade. ‘Sea Heart’ has boldly silver-frosted, heart-shaped leaves which set off the blue and purple flowers to perfection.
