    • Loving it! This is my second year with these plants, and they are thriving beautifully. My Brunnera receives quite a bit of morning sun until noon and afternoon shade.

    • I love these. I planted 3 this spring and they did very well. They are growing in a shady spot with high alkalinity and poor drainage.. The best part is the rabbits leave them alone. If they make it through our zone 6 winter, I will buy more!

    • This plant is gorgeous and easy to grow. I planted it in part shade near our concrete foundation and it is perky and thriving with occasional watering. I love it and will buy more!
