Brunnera Jack Frost

Several new plants were added to the garden last Autumn. Brunnera Jack Frost is the one I like best.
The plant above, Brunnera Jack Frost, after seeing how it performed in the garden in Spring of this year, just had to be my first choice as favourite.

The plant continued to look like this until mid May, and then we got an explosion of blooms, looking fantastic and lasting well into June, in fact by the very end of June she was still hanging on to a good few flowers.
To say I planted Jack Frost in a shady position would be a bit of an understatement, in fact it is in deep shade.
In our garden, this Brunnera will be finding itself in several other positions next year, and the good
