Alexander's Great Siberian Bugloss
Brunnera macrophylla ‘Alexander’s Great'
Alexander’s Great Siberian Bugloss is a standout shade perennial prized for its dramatically oversized silver foliage and refined garden presence. Each heart-shaped leaf is washed in luminous silver and traced with deep green veining, creating a striking contrast that instantly elevates shaded spaces.
In spring, airy sprays of forget-me-not-like blue flowers rise gently above the foliage, adding a soft seasonal accent without competing with the plant’s primary visual strength. Unlike many shade plants, Alexander’s Great maintains a tidy, architectural form throughout the growing season.
This variety thrives in cool, shaded garden beds, woodland borders, and under mature trees, making it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting beauty where sun-loving plants struggle.
Why gardeners love Alexander’s Great:
-
Exceptional large silver foliage for visual impact
-
Reliable performance in shade and partial shade
-
Excellent companion for ferns, hellebores, and hostas
-
Low maintenance and non-invasive growth habit
-
Ideal for modern, woodland, and Asian-inspired gardens
