{"product_id":"jack-frost-brunnera-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Jack Frost Brunnera - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack Frost is a classic shade perennial with heart-shaped leaves so heavily frosted in silver that only the green veins show through, giving a crackled look. In mid to late spring, clusters of tiny baby blue flowers like forget-me-nots float above the shimmering foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt forms a neat mound about a foot tall and handles heat better than older brunneras. It is lovely as a groundcover, in containers or in spring bouquets, and it holds an Award of Garden Merit. Deer tend to avoid it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAiry sprays of tiny five-petaled flowers about a quarter inch across in baby blue with small yellow-white eyes, held several inches above the leaves on thin stems. Leaves are heart-shaped, 4 to 6 inches across, heavily overlaid with silver-white so that only a fine network of green veins and a thin green edge show, giving a crackled, frosted look. The plant is a neat, rounded mound 12 to 15 inches tall and wide. At peak bloom a haze of blue flowers hovers over the silver leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrunnera needs shade and evenly moist soil, so it belongs in a shade garden with hostas and ferns rather than in a sunny lavender bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist; protect from hot afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8. Remove spent flower stems after bloom and trim tattered leaves as needed; it rarely needs dividing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brunnera macrophylla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baby blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver with green veins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat, rounded mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–15 in tall × 12–15 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
