X STENOPHYLLA ‘CORALLINA COMPACTA’
Compact evergreen shrub, with narrow, dark green leaves. Clusters of

by glaucous blue-black fruits. Very slow growing. 30 cm

BRUNNERA
MACROPHYLLA ‘JACK
FROST’
A much commented upon Brunnera and deservedly so! Fabulous silvery leaves with
small forget-me-not blue flowers in early spring. Good groundcover for shady
corners. (PBR
protected) 45 cm
MACROPHYLLA ‘LOOKING
GLASS’
Another new introduction ideal for a shady corner, does not mind
dry shade. Dramatic, all silver foliage, blue forget-me-not flowers
for weeks, from early spring. (PBR
protected) 50 cm
MACROPHYLLA ‘MARLEY'S
WHITE’
Meant to be stronger than B. 'Betty Bowring' which we struggled to provide last
year, with good white flowers for months from early spring. Watch for slugs, the silver-leaved ones seem less palatable! 55 cm
