Understatedly elegant, Siberian Bugloss will spread to create a flowering, gorgeous groundcover if planted in just the right shade to partial shade place. Small bright blue Forget-Me-Not flowers float above the foliage each spring, contrasting beautifully with the heavily textured, heart-shaped leaves. These flowers can be removed once they’ve “gone by” for the season to allow the remaining foliage to make a statement all on its own.
Brunnera is one of few groundcovers that will spread without becoming invasive, and many of its varieties sport leaves with a silvery tone that set off the greens of neighboring plants. This is a woodland native, so as long as you give it consistent moisture and cool shade, it should be extremely low maintenance and will calmly hold its own in your garden.
