I tried this Brunnera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost’ in 2018. It looked great when I brought it home, but the heat and dry weather eventually got to it. It was the first Brunnera I tried after moving back to the family farm in west-central Missouri.

Heliotropium arborescens ‘Marine’ on 10-3-18, #514-4.
Heliotropium arborescens ‘Marine’ (Heliotrope) is one of my favorite plants to have in the flower bed. I always bring at one home when I find them locally. I need a whole bed of them…

Pulmonaria x ’Spot On’ on 5-10-23. #938-20.
I brought this Pulmonaria x ‘Spot On’ home from Muddy Creek Greenhouse in 2023. It was a great plant until late in the summer when the heat got to it. These plants like plenty of water, but it looked GREAT! I don’t have a page for it yet…
That’s it for my experience with the plant family Boraginaceae for now…
