Silver Heart Bugloss is a standout shade perennial known for its large, heart-shaped leaves washed in bright silver and traced with green veining. In spring, airy clusters of tiny sky-blue flowers rise above the foliage, adding soft color and movement to shaded gardens. With its compact, mounded habit and luminous foliage that lasts all season, this variety is ideal for borders, containers, mass plantings, and woodland gardens. It performs best in moist, rich, well-drained soil and brings reliable beauty to cooler, shaded spaces.
