Siberian bugloss is a rhizomatous perennial that is typically grown in shady areas as a ground cover. It features large, heart-shaped leaves (macrophylla meaning large-leaved) in spreading basal clumps and tiny, forget-me-not-like, blue spring flowers in racemes on slender stems rising well above the foliage to 18? tall. Clumps slowly spread to form thick ground covers. ?Variegata? produces light blue flowers in April-May and large, light apple-green leaves (to 8? long) with irregular creamy white margins. Well-maintained plants provide attractive variegated foliage for shady areas throughout the growing season.
