Very nice perennial with light
green leaves sporting wide irregular creamy yellow margins. Brunnera 'Hadspen Cream'
blooms in early spring, sending up dainty sprays of light purple flowers. This particualr
variety seems to tolerate dry soils better than any other Brunnera that we grow and in
turn tolerates full sun better. Stunning when planted in large groups of 7 or more.
Plant in parial shade to full sun in a soil that has been amended with
organic materials such as compost, peat and manure. Feed in early spring with a top
dressing of composted manure and bone meal. Liquid feed twice during the growing
season with fish emulsion. You will get fuller, tidier plants by lightly pruning
back the basal foliage in the spring and fall. Brunnera will grow best if roots are
kept cool - apply a three inch layer of mulch each spring.
