{"product_id":"brunnera-alexanders-great","title":"Brunnera Alexander's Great","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrunnera Alexander's Great is grown mainly for its striking foliage and calm, elegant look in shade. The very large heart-shaped leaves are silver with green veins and edges, so the plant stays eye-catching long after the flowers fade. In spring, small blue flowers rise above the leaves and create a soft forget-me-not effect. It forms a broad clump that helps fill quiet parts of the garden with color and texture. This makes it a strong choice for woodland borders, shaded beds, and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plant is easy to grow when the soil stays moist but drains well. It needs very little pruning, apart from removing tired leaves in spring and cutting old flower stems after blooming. If hot weather damages the foliage, the plant can be cut back and often sends up fresh new leaves. Propagation is usually done by division, which is the easiest method for making a larger patch. Established clumps can also help cover the soil and reduce weed growth in shaded areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrunnera Alexander's Great is valued not only for its looks but also for its reliable performance in the garden. Slugs, snails, and aphids may appear now and then, while leaf spot, mildew, or root rot can develop in poor conditions. Good spacing and well-drained soil help keep the plant healthy and tidy. The silver foliage pairs well with ferns, hostas, and other shade-loving plants, giving strong contrast through the growing season. For gardeners looking for a foliage plant that also offers gentle spring bloom, this cultivar is a strong choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnswallow Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798435262515,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/4284\/2675\/files\/64c0a7a39b6d_1050.jpg?v=1788110348","url":"https:\/\/barnswallowflowers.com\/products\/brunnera-alexanders-great","provider":"Barnswallow Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
