Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Brunnera 'macrophylla' (Ships in Spring)
Siberian Bugloss
Brunnera macrophylla is a classic, clump‑forming perennial valued for its broad, heart‑shaped deep green leaves and dependable shade performance. In mid‑spring, it produces airy clusters of tiny sky‑blue, forget‑me‑not–like flowers that rise just above the foliage, adding a soft, woodland charm to the garden. Thriving in part to full shade, it prefers moist, well‑drained soil and benefits from consistent watering to keep its foliage lush. Naturally deer‑ and rabbit‑resistant and hardy in zones 3–8, it’s a reliable choice for woodland borders, shaded pathways, and containers, offering season‑long texture and a timeless, natural look.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Brunnera 'macrophylla' (Ships in Spring)
Planting: Best planted in spring or fall during mild weather. Set crowns just below the soil surface and space plants 18 to 30 inches apart, depending on variety.
Location: Thrives in partial to full shade; protect from hot afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost or organic matter before planting.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Brunnera struggles in dry or overly wet conditions.
Spacing: Allow room for clump expansion—plants spread slowly via rhizomes.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support foliage and bloom.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and trim back foliage in late winter or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free; avoid poor drainage to prevent root rot.
Companion Planting: Pairs beautifully with hostas, ferns, and hellebores in woodland or shade gardens.
