Angela’s Garden Notes:
When we planted this side by side with the selection and perennial plant of the year for 2012 - 'Jack Frost', we noticed two things. Sea Heart held up much better to the het and humidity of the Mid-Atlantic and it flowered bout a week to two weeks early with a lovely two-toned bloom. If you've always wanted a brunnera in your garden, this brunnera is for you - even if you live somewhere where the summers are hot and humid. It holds up well and keeps going well into fall till a good hard frost takes it out.
