Silver Heart Siberian Bugloss is a compact shade loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown as a groundcover for its large heart shaped silver overlaid foliage with dark green edges and veining. Airy branching clusters of deep blue forget-me-not like flowers bloom above the foliage in spring. Flowers best in part shade and rich, consistently moist well-drained soils.
