'Jack Frost' _ 'Jack Frost' is a clump-forming perennial, with broad, hairy, heart-shaped leaves which are silver with green veins and blue forget-me-not type flowers in spring.
Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' is: Deciduous

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.
