Brunnera macrophylla ‘Silver Heart’
Brunnera 'Silver Heart' is a sturdier 'Looking Glass' with larger thicker leaves and more heat and humidity tolerance.
Brunnera ‘Silver Heart’ looks much like ‘Looking Glass’ but with some important differences: ‘Silver Heart’ has larger, thicker leaves, it has deeper blue flowers and it is more tolerant of heat and humidity. Brunneras are great garden plants for shade. ‘Silver Heart’ has even more silver in the heart-shaped leaves than ‘Jack Frost’ or ‘Sea Heart’.
