How to care for Brunnera macrophylla:
Water newly planted perennials regularly for their first year to encourage successful establishment. Provide extra water during long dry spells. Remove the faded flower-heads after flowering. Once established, lift and divide the plant every two or three years in late autumn. Apply a mulch of garden compost or well-rotted manure to the soil surface annually in spring to enrich the soil.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
