Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The large silver-overlayed, heart-shaped foliage of this 12-15" beauty has green veins making the silver sheen just sparkle; topped by white flowers in spring,this shade-lover will be enjoyed spring-fall. PSh-Sh/M PPAF
Brunnera macrophylla 'Mr Morse' is essentially the white-flowered version of the famous 'Jack Frost'. It has the same heart-shaped, fuzzy leaves overlaid with dramatic silver but in this case is topped in early spring with clouds of pure white flowers with yellow centres. Brunnera are closely related to forget-me-nots (Myosoitis) and Anchusa. They have beautiful heart-shaped leaves held in an attractive mound and cute forget-me-not-like flowers in spring.
