Sea Heart Bugloss
(Brunnera macrophylla 'Sea Heart')
Add bold foliage and delicate spring charm to your shade garden with Sea Heart Bugloss, a standout perennial prized for its striking silver-veined leaves and airy blue flowers. One of the most vigorous and heat-tolerant Brunnera varieties, Sea Heart delivers season-long beauty with heart-shaped foliage that brightens even the shadiest corners of your landscape.
Perfectly adapted to Manitoba’s cold winters and short growing season, Sea Heart emerges in early spring with sprays of forget-me-not–blue flowers, followed by robust foliage that resists heat and humidity better than other varieties. Its compact, mounding habit makes it ideal for edging pathways, underplanting shrubs, or creating texture-rich groundcover in woodland and shade gardens.
This low-maintenance perennial is both deer-resistant and pollinator-friendly, making it a reliable favourite in both formal and naturalized settings.
