Siberian Bugloss is a shade loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown as a groundcover for its attractive heart shaped foliage. Airy branching clusters of intense blue forget-me-not like flowers bloom above the foliage in spring. Flowers best in part shade and rich, consistently moist well-drained soils.
