The leaves overlap at the base in a swirl reminiscent of a snail shell, forming a nearly circular mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach leaf carries a heavy silver overlay with wide, dark green veins. In mid to late spring, clusters of baby blue, forget-me-not-like flowers rise above the foliage. It grows about 15 inches tall and up to two and a half feet wide, lighting up shady beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuge heart-shaped leaves 9 to 10 inches across with a heavy silver overlay and bold, wide dark green veins, overlapping at the base in a swirling, circular arrangement. In spring, airy sprays of tiny baby blue five-petaled flowers rise on stems up to about 30 inches. The foliage mound is circular, 14 to 16 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide. At peak bloom a cloud of blue flowers floats above the broad silver mound.\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.
