With its showy forget-me-not-like, pale blue and pink florets and heart-shaped silverish-green leaves, Sea Heart Forget Me Not provides interest from spring until fall. This easy-to-care-for herbaceous perennial, otherwise known as Brunnera macrophylla Garden Candy™ Sea Heart, and Siberian Bugloss, provides a beautiful accent to borders and beds. Even better than its fantastic sibling ‘Jack Frost’, Sea Heart Forget Me Not holds up better to heat and humidity and blooms earlier. It works well as edging and as a companion plant for shrubs such as roses. Cold hardy in zones 4 to 8, this variegated plant’s long list of positives makes it an attractive addition to any landscape.
Sea Heart Forget Me Not’s petite flowers captivate pollinators including bees, butterflies, and birds. Originating from Asia and Europe, this vigorous, clump-forming perennial is relatively disease resistant. Also, deer and rabbit resistant, you won’t lose sleep worrying about whether this lovely plant will still be around in the morning after the local raiders have sailed through your yard during the night. With its low maintenance regime, this showy perennial is an ideal plant to add to any busy newbie gardener’s collection.
Sea Heart Forget Me Not Care
Provide a space for Sea Heart Forget Me Not in partial shade; this plant does better in cooler locations. Plant it in soil that is loamy, moist, and well draining. If your soil lacks nutrients or does not drain well, you can amend the topsoil with peat moss/coco coir. Apply an inch or two of mulch to prevent water loss. While this showy perennial does well in a wide pH range, it prefers slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil. To encourage better flower production and to discourage disease, provide this perennial with about an inch of water per week.
To encourage better flower production and discourage disease, deadhead Sea Heart Forget Me Not throughout the flowering season. Also, trim any diseased, damaged, or dead foliage from spring thru fall.
Sea Heart Forget Me Not Spacing
Sea Heart Forget Me Not works well when planted en masse or as a specimen. Uses include edging, ground cover, borders, beds, gardens, and containers. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Combine this Brunnera with companion plants such as hydrangea, primrose, and hosta. This perennial can be used as a filler in a “thriller-spiller-filler” arrangement.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
