I am a landscape designer and have been purchasing 1000's of spring flowering bulbs from A.D.R. Bulbs for 100's of clients in the last 20 years. The bulbs have always been of top quality and if there were any problems, they have been quick to rectify. My orders are often complicated with many varieties and different amounts and they have always filled and delivered everything on time with the best customer care and attention to detail.  The pictures in their catalog and website are beautiful. I have visited their facility in NY and was impressed with all their handling equipment and organization.  I would highly recommend A.D.R. Bulbs to anyone in the wholesale trade who wants to purchase quality bulbs and work with genuinely nice people.

Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and ground cover, its textured leaves add depth and contrast to plantings.

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.
