Brunnera macrophylla Queen of Hearts PP 32737 Lantana including butterflies and other pollinatorsBrunnera 'Queen of Hearts' is the second introduction of giant brunneras from Walters Gardens. This massive (for a brunnera) plant forms an 18" tall x 3' wide specimen that rivals hostas in the woodland garden. The heavily silver leaves are adorned with narrow green veins and topped, starting for us in April with sprays of sky blue flowers truly spectacular.
