Description
Brunnera macrophylla ‘Frostbite,’ commonly known as Siberian Bugloss, is a striking perennial prized for its bold, heart-shaped leaves adorned with unique silver-white variegation that creates a frosted, almost luminescent effect in shaded garden areas. Native to the woodlands of the Caucasus region, this plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and brightness beneath trees or in shaded borders. ‘Frostbite’ is especially valued for its durability and low-maintenance nature, producing delicate clusters of small, forget-me-not-like blue flowers in spring that attract pollinators. Its robust nature and ornamental foliage have earned it recognition among gardeners seeking both ground cover and contrast in shade gardens. The cultivar’s distinctive variegation and adaptability have made it a favorite in perennial collections and shade garden designs.
