Brunnera macrophylla ‘Mr Morse’ Description

Brunnera macrophylla ‘Mr Morse’ forms a neat clump of broad, heart-shaped leaves heavily overlaid in silver and marked by contrasting green veins. Slender stems carry sprays of tiny pure white, forget-me-not-like flowers in spring, offering a softer alternative to the blue flowers of many other brunneras. Growing to around 40cm high and wide, it works well beneath deciduous shrubs, along woodland paths and among ferns, hostas and spring bulbs. Plant in partial or full shade in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains moist but drains freely. The cool conditions found in many Irish gardens suit it well. Remove damaged leaves as necessary and protect emerging foliage from slugs and snails.
