BRUNNERA - Hadspen Cream
Description:
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.
