Description

A sport of (and improvement over) everyone's favorite, Brunnera 'Langtrees'

Each silvery leaf is elaborately veined in bright green, like moss growing between stepping-stones

'Jack Frost' grows leaves that are perfectly rounded and can easily be seen while facing up and out. The leaves are the perfect background for the brilliantly bright blue flowers that will grow in early spring.

'Jack Frost' will grow between 12 and 15 inches tall and approximately 18 inches wide in a garden that is partially shaded. The plant appears plump due to how dense it is. Each plant should be planted between 18 and 24 inches apart in order to give them the space they need. It is a hearty plant that is able to tolerate cold snaps and soil that is poorly fertilized, but it does prefer soil that is acidic.

This plant is a part of the Brunnera family which looks great when planted some of the staples of a shade garden, such as ferns, hostas, hellebores, and pulmonarias. No matter what type of plants you decide to plant in your shade garden, 'Jack Frost' will compliment them.

Great shade plant

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love the light to dark foliage and the flowers are spectacular...I had one in San Jose, CA and immediately bought one for my yard in So. Oregon. Am looking forward to seeing mature!

Beautiful even when neglected

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I planted one several years ago and am always delighted when I start my spring clean up and see this hardy little plant in bloom. When I said hardy, I mean it. I plant it and it must grow with my great expectations rather that lots of attention.

Very nice

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

We purchased two of the Jack Frost, we based our decision on the very helpful grow zone chart, and the fact that it would be quite shaded. They plant has not yet flowered, but it looks healthy and is growing. I love the white on the leaves! Another great purchase from Wayside.

superb in the semi-shade garden

This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Brunnera, if planted in the right place and soil, is a fabulous addition to the shade garden - with a backdrop of tall ferns and in the company of shy Liriope or Pulmonaria.
