Brunnera macrophylla 'Silver Spear'
Siberian Bugloss 'Silver Spear'
These hardy, herbaceous perennials make excellent ground cover. They have attractive, coarse, heart-shaped leaves in spring with sprays of small blue or white flowers carried on wiry stems. They thrive in all but dense shade. 'Silver Spear' is similar to Brunner 'Jack Frost', but a little bit whiter, and the tips of the leaves are a little elongated
