I think if you go for a stable variety you may get closer to your objective of variegation. I have had this for some years and there is no reversion. The leaf is very attractive, and the flowers are the same as the standard Brunnera.

Hi Margaret,
Very healthy , no disease, and usually gives me one extra seedling a year within about twenty feet of the parent, so good for giving to a friend as well. It is more lovely even than the photo suggests.

Hi Margaret,
One of the great by-products of gardening is having a supply of free plants that you can give away. People are delighted to get them and you have the pleasure of growing them in the first place. What a great hobby, habit, obsession. I photographed a variegated agapanthus for you yesterday. I will track down the name, but it has a beautiful light caught in it.

I have the Jack Frost Brunnera, and the leaves are beautiful, however it has never once flowered for me. Can anyone suggest why? It is in a dryish shady site under a large apple tree.

Hi Vanessa,
Mine is in a south facing bed and flowers its silly head off. I also have a regular brunnera in a north facing bed and it flowers away as well so it is probably to do with moisture. Neither are shaded though. Perhaps the tree is taking the moisture and providing more shade than is wanted. There can't be any other reason. Does the plant look well and have a healthy glow with undamaged leaves?
