'Blaukuppel' _ 'Blaukuppel' is a compact, mound-forming, rhizomatous perennial, with broad, hairy, heart-shaped, mid-green leaves and broad, airy panicles of small, deep blue flowers in spring.
Brunnera macrophylla 'Blaukuppel' is: Deciduous
Cushion or Mound Forming, Compact
Dark-blue in Spring
Mid-green in Spring; Mid-green in Summer; Mid-green in Autumn
Generally pest free. The fact that slugs don't like the leaves gives this plant an edge over hostas for shade planting. These two plants work well interplanted together.
Cut stems and leaves down to the ground in spring rather than autumn to protect the crown during winter.
Divide and replant roots of crowded clumps in early spring. Grow from root cuttings in a cold frame and plant the rooted cuttings in a nursery bed in early summer and replant the hardier plants later in the year.
