Imagine: in spring, Brunnera macrophylla 'Queen of Hearts' illuminates the shade with its myriad of small periwinkle blue flowers, like stars twinkling under the trees. Then, its silvery foliage takes over, persisting brightly until the last days of autumn. When summer arrives, Aruncus 'Chantilly Lace' unfurls its delicate cream inflorescences, contrasting with the opulent texture of Hosta SHADOWLAND®, whose variations in shapes and colours enrich the scene throughout the beautiful season.
