Siberian bugloss in the garden
The Siberian bugloss grows best in a semi-shady to shady spot with evenly moist soil. The soil should be sandy-loamy or rich in humus.
It does not do well in well-drained and sandy soil. It can only survive in full sun if it is watered regularly.
Brunnera macrophylla is hardy until -25 °C/-13 °F.
