Brunnera “Alexander’s Great”, Brunnera Macrophylla – a perennial border shade plant
Brunnera “Alexander’s Great”, also known as Siberian Bugloss, is a hardy, very resilient plant that grows perfectly in shady conditions. It’s pretty famous for its cool-green leaves, and shoots of sky-blue flowers that bloom every spring.
Brunnera needs to be watered regularly throughout the summer until you fully make sure that the soil is very well-drained, moist, and fertile. If you have drier soils, you can also use manure or homemade compost. Brunneras also feel very good at the front of a garden border, but also as ground cover. If you’re passionate about making flower bouquets, you should definitely try adding a Brunnera leaf!

I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?
