Shade Gardening: Brunnera, 1 by Weerobin

I love plants whose foliage is the main attraction, which often are shade plants.
Although the flowers are pretty, it's just the foliage you'll see most of the summer.
Brunnera foliage can set off adjacent plants with varied texture or variegation.
Here are a couple pictures of brunnera with other shade plants.
As well as a picture of the bloom.
I also included a picture of an older cultivar which you don't find much anymore, Dawson's White.
Even though I love Jack Frost and Looking Glass, I still like Dawson's White.
The only picture I could find is a small plant, but pretty cute!

Edited to add that my only complaint about brunnera is that it fades terribly down the stretch.
By late August or September, foliage is ratty, brown, ragged.
