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.
