I have certainly been getting liking for these hardy ferns and shade dwellers. I am amazed that they could have taken last winter, and still just got on with their business..

Other varieties of Brunnera worth looking out for are are: Emerald Mist, Dawson's White, Looking Glass and King's Ransom.

Will die back over winter, but re-emerge when spring comes around.

Is going great guns, with so much new growth I am thinking about where it could be planted out... :DD

And the 6ft Dicksonia antarctica bought in the Seagrave sale, has also been doing great things..
