Owning a dog, especially a big dog will almost always keep deer from approaching your home. Just the scent of the dog will keep most deer away, and if your dog lives outside you will probably never see any deer.These leaves are so big and so uniquely colored, you may not believe that they're real! Each leaf emerges from a pretty spiral, and opens into a neat teardrop shape. The foliage is completely silver with deep green veins, creating an exotic look in your garden or landscape. This giant plant makes a dramatic statement in your garden. It may be giant but it is not too big to use in containers!
These mounds of foliage bear blooms for a short time in the spring, thriving most in shade or partial shade. It is also deer resistant so you do not have to worry! Keep the soil well-drained and moist, and your Brunnera will grow quickly, filling containers and borders with ease. Add it to your landscape for beautiful and elegant visual interest that will leave everyone who sees it stunned.
