Has a green margin around the silver center to the heart shaped leaves. Typical rich blue flowers in early spring.

Almost completely silver, the sweet, heart-shaped foliage of this 12 x 24 inch shade-brightening groundcover is also covered in fetching cobalt blue forget-me-not flowers all spring; although these plants look delicate, they are tough and hold up well in heat and humidity; prefect for container, border or fantastic planted en masse.

Beautiful, silver tone heart-shaped leaves topped by charming small blue forget-me-not flowers in Spring. This remarkably tough, perennial beauty can stand heat and humidity for a long season of color foliage. Prefers rich, consistently moist soil. Good in woodland gardens and mass plantings. Freely self-seeds.

Silver Heart' looks much like 'Looking Glass' but with some important differences: 'Silver Heart' has larger, thicker leaves, it has deeper blue flowers and it is more tolerant of heat and humidity. Brunneras are great garden plants for shade. 'Silver Heart' has even more silver in the heart-shaped leaves than 'Jack Frost' or 'Sea Heart'.
