How to Water
Water young plants regularly until they are fully established. After this, water during particularly dry spells, especially if the plant isn’t in a shady spot.
How to Plant
Brunnera is a shade loving plant, so choose a cool spot and plant in moist but well-draining soil. Weed the area thoroughly and dig a hole slightly bigger than the root ball. Dig in some organic matter and position the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is at soil level before backfilling, firming down gently as you go. Water in well.
