Looking Glass Brunnera Plant

Our Brunnera Looking Glass Siberian Bugloss Plant is another sport of the famous 'Jack Frost' Siberian Bugloss plant, with all the same attributes, but with a sterling silver coating that grows to cover the entire leaf by early summer. Its leaves tend to curl slightly under, which gives it a somewhat softer appearance than its father Jack, while the dainty blossoms are the most striking hot-summer-sky-blue that you've ever seen.

Our Brunnera (Siberian Bugloss) Plants are grown with care and are free from harmful pesticides, making them a safe and elegant addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!
