Brunnera 'Alexander's Great' – Gigantic Elegance in the Shadow Garden

Brunnera macrophylla 'Alexander's Great' is a spectacular variety of this popular perennial, distinguished by exceptionally large, silvery leaves with distinct green veins. This plant combines impressive appearance and ease of cultivation, making it ideal for shady places in the garden.


Characteristics of the Brunnery 'Alexander's Great'

  • Height and habit:

    • It reaches 40–50 cm in height and up to 60–70 cm in width, forming impressive, dense clumps.
  • Leaves:

    • Huge, heart-shaped leaves with a silvery color and contrasting green veins.
    • Thick and durable, resistant to drought and mechanical damage.
  • Flowers:

    • Delicate, light blue, reminiscent of forget-me-nots.
    • They bloom from April to May, rising above the leaves on slender stems.

Growing conditions

  • Position:

    • It grows best in partial shade or shade. Ideal for planting under trees, in shady beds and in forest gardens.
  • Soil:

    • It prefers humus, moist but well-drained soils, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
  • Watering:

    • It requires regular watering during periods of drought, but tolerates short-term dryness well thanks to its fleshy leaves.
  • Frost resistance:

    • Fully frost hardy (zone 3–7). For protection in harsher conditions, it is worth using mulch around the base of the plant.

Care

  • Pruning:

    • Removing faded flowers improves the appearance of the plant and prevents self-seeding.
    • The leaves can be trimmed back in the fall if they are damaged by frost, although they often retain their attractive appearance until winter.
  • Fertilization:

    • In spring, it is worth using an organic or compound fertilizer to support leaf development and flowering.
