Brunnera macrophylla has dainty sprays of sky-blue flowers each spring, but the reason you'll want to consider this perennial for your garden is its unique and attractive foliage. The species plant sometimes sold as Anchusa myosotiflora The species plant, which has the common name Siberian Bugloss, is admittedly a bit plain-Jane-green, but modern cultivars can have silvery or variegated foliage that is well worth seeking out. The blue flowers of Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' Brunnera macrophylla is also a terrific low-maintenance plant for moist, part-shade to full shade. Unlike hosta, Brunnera cultivars that have thicker leaves are pretty slug-resistant. If you're tired of looking at hosta riddled with holes, this plant might be an excellent option! One drawback– you'll find Brunnera is a bit of an investment. They're a slow-growing perennial, so you'll find even small plants can be a bit pricy. Ongoing Care Given the right conditions, Brunnera is an easy-care perennial. They prefer cool summers and soil that is rich in organic matter. While they like moist conditions, Brunnera macrophylla requires free-draining soil that is evenly moist, but not soggy. Keep new plants well watered in their first season. If moisture conditions become too dry, the plant may fade and die (there goes your investment!). Adding a top layer of mulch will help the plant stay cool and moist. Brunnera macrophylla can be great self-seeders. Unfortunately, while the species plant will come true to seed, the fancier cultivars will not. To avoid unwanted generic seedlings, cut the flower stems all the way back to the base of the plant as soon as they begin to fade. Removing spent flowers also has the added bonus of keeping Brunnera looking tidy through the remainder of the gardening season. Brunnera is a clump-forming perennial that spread slowly by creeping rhizomes. Divide them in the fall. Regular division, every 4 or 5 years, will ensure they stay vigorous and long-lived. Cultivars to Collect Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' has heart-shaped, silver-colored leaves that are veined in a bright green. Sprays of blue flowers, which closely resemble forget-me-nots, appear in mid-spring. This cultivar can take more sun than many other types of Brunnera, but it still prefers afternoon shade particularly in hotter gardening zones. Average garden soil is fine, but 'Jack Frost' prefers rich soil and moist conditions. Height: 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), Spread: 30-45 cm ( 12-18 inches). USDA Zones: 2-8. Brunnera macrophylla 'Variegata' has heart-shaped splashed with cream and green. The flowers of this cultivar are bright blue. Average soil is fine. Note: leaf edges of this cultivar may scorch in the sun. Part to full shade and moist conditions. Height: 30-40 cm, Spread: 30-45 cm. Zones 2-8. Brunnera macrophylla 'Looking Glass' has cool-toned silvery-grey leaves that have fine blue-green veining and leaf edges. Sprays of pale blue flowers, which closely resemble forget-me-nots, appear in mid-spring. Average soil is fine and moist conditions are best. Height: 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), Spread: 30-45 cm ( 12-18 inches). USDA Zones: 3-8. Brunnera macrophylla 'Sea Heart' The veining on this cultivar is bright yellow-green giving Sea Heart's silver-green leaves a slightly warmer cast. Sprays of sky-blue flowers appear in mid-spring. Average soil and moist conditions are best. Height: 30-40 cm (12-16 inches), Spread: 30-45 cm ( 12-18 inches). USDA Zones: 2-8. Companion Planting Trillium and Brunnera macrophylla 'Variegata' Brunnera makes great companions for other woodland plants that like similar conditions; Bloodroot, Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria), Erythronium, Wood Anemone (Anemonella thalictroides), and Shooting Star (Dodecatheon pulchellum). Primrose with Brunnera flowers in the background. Bleeding Heart, Dicentra spectabilis Brunnera with Ferns in the background. Primroses, Ferns, Foam Flowers (Tiarella), Hellebores and Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) would also make excellent companion plants. Brunnera combined with Hosta. Brunnera 'Jack Frost' (left) with Heuchera 'Silver Scroll' (in the foreground) and Hosta 'Fire and Ice' (in the upper right). The silvery foliage of Brunnera macrophylla looks terrific when paired with just about any hosta. Heuchera is another foliage plant that works well with either of these two perennials. Plant type: Perennial Height: 15-40 cm (6-16 inches) depending on cultivar Spread: 30-60 cm (12-23 inches) depending on cultivar Flower: Sprays of blue forget-me-not type flowers Bloom period: Early spring Leaf: Silver-green or white and green depending on the cultivar Light: Part to full shade Soil: Average Moisture conditions: Moist Divide: In fall Deer & Rabbit Resistant Problems: No serious problems USDA Zones: 2-8

Polianthes 'Pink Sapphire' is an incredibly exciting breakthrough in tuberose breeding from Huang Kuang-Liang at Taiwan's Taipei University. By crossing the florist Polianthes tuberosa with the hardier Mexican Polianthes howardii, Huang was able to develop a hardier tuberose strain with both fragrance and color. Polianthes 'Pink Sapphire', which has been superb in our trials, produces 3' tall stalks of fragrant, double pink flowers from late July until frost...simply amazing!

Hello friends! Yes it's been awhile, that's for sure. Our winter has been way too long for my taste, but the last couple of weekends we've had some nice weather finally , and I can see Spring around the corner! It can't get here soon enough though. :) The best thing to do while waiting for the lush green grass and buds to sprout , is keep busy preparing for it... That's exactly what I've been doing ;) Preparing. I've been busy in the mini kitchen baking up lots of sweets for a Bakery I'm working on for the Spring issue of Mini-ologie. And here's a little peek of some "fresh from the oven" cakes that will line the counters. I've also been working on a little kitchen with a laundry room. (ps: Thank you Diane Melcher!) I've been trying my hand at a few new techniques also. Some of my mini cakes will be a smooth dense surface and others will be flaky , deep with delicious buttery moistness like below. I call it the Duncan Hines look ;) This is my little inspiration board for the Bakery below... It'll have some of the aspects of a favorite bakery of mine. Sweet Melissa's. Which closed it's doors in Brooklyn, but still has a website. I sure do miss walking in there! I've also been playing with air-dry clay (below) and Copic and Distress markers. It's been so much fun learning new ways to design miniature food! I love experimenting and playing scientist. I never want to stop learning because to me, that's half the fun. I'm not sure I'd switch over from polymer to air dry clay, but it's fun for certain items. Well the past month hasn't been all about minis. It's been about finding time to be good to myself and get as healthy for the new year as I can. I've always appreciated good wholesome food , with little processed food in my diet. But now, I've taken it a step further by switching over to all organic , very plant based , much less meat, etc way of eating. I love my pies /sweets as most of you know, lol, but there is room for everything if cooked and baked with my health in mind. I've grown to love a daily green shake, fresh whole organic milk, and so many amazing new foods. So far my body has thanked me by shedding 20 pounds (that I've wanted off for years lol) and it's like my insides are much happier. :) Which btw, over the winter, I was sick so often with one thing or another, that I did this diet/lifestyle turn-around just to finally get well! So it was sort of by default, lol, but however I got here it was worth it and I've never felt better. As a miniature artist, a lot of time is spent on creating and sculpting and I'm afraid I wasn't balancing that with enough exercise throughout the day, so now my running shoes have a lot more worn out treads on them and that's been a great change for me. It's great to love working on miniatures, but I've got to remember to make myself a priority too! Be good to you!! ;) Here are a few photos of some delicious and healthy foods I've fallen in love with. I plan on starting a recipe collection and tips board on Pinterest, so stay tuned if you'd like some great ideas for meals, organic gardening, and easy life changing ideas. Who can refuse a chicken pot pie that is guilt free?! Or how great is it to learn that whole milk is allowed in a healthy diet? I was so used to skim milk, I actually didn't think I'd love "whole" again, or even want to drink it. I'm not even a big milk person, but it's just delicious! And of course, being a vintage style loving girl, who doesn't love an old fashioned milk bottle? ;) Honestly, milk tastes better by a mile when in glass! I spent a little time enjoying our local farm markets this weekend. I was actually out shopping for seeds for my garden this Spring, but I got very side tracked at a new farmers market on Long Island. I loved that I didn't have to drive out east on the island to get there either, it was practically right around the corner! Thank you Kerber's Farm , for having such a fabulous bakery filled with fresh baked beauties and the best apple crumb pie (and gluten free to boot) that I've ever eaten! (and that's including a regular flour based one!). Here's a little tour... I can only imagine how great it'll be when your garden vegetable shop is filled , and the flowers are blooming! I'll be back often! They also sell wonderful kitchen accessories too!! And of course, I can't wait till your cases are filled with fresh eggs daily. I hope they start over flowing soon, or I might have to start raising chickens myself :). I say that with a giggle , but honestly, I've been researching chickens a lot this week. I found out my township allows up to 8 in our backyard, so I got all excited and I've been trying to convince Mr. Cottage that they will fit right in! If anyone has "raising chickens in suburbia" tips or thoughts, I'd love to hear! I wanted to bring home this salvaged door from Kerbers with me, perfect as a kitchen island or coffee table! ;) I stocked up on some delicious Jams, homemade sweets , and just had such a nice time visiting this sweet little farm. After our visit, my girl gang (Mom and Melanie) and our driver (Mr. Cottage) were off to get what we came out for.... Garden goodies: Seeds, books, ideas, and fresh veggies from another local farm: Makinajian's. I love this place too! And being that we've only had pockets of 50+ degree days here and there, when it's nice out, you've got to keep going lol! I'm hoping when I'm all finished "preparing" for Spring/Summer, the end result will be something like this kitchen garden photo below. (Ellen Ecker Ogden- The Complete Kitchen Garden book) One of each below....and more inside :) But for now, it's veggies from the market.... So while the snow keeps melting..... you'll find me reading garden books, researching backyard chickens, making miniatures and scenes for Spring Mini-ologie and .... last but not least.. Eating a tiny slice of healthy pie :) I hope the beginning of Spring is coming your way too! Oops, I almost forgot... I also got rid of my non-stick cookware this winter. I've cooked with both iron and non stick for as long as I've been cooking, but now I've decided to go to all Iron. Food just tastes so much better cooked the old fashioned way, not to mention how much healthier cooking in Cast iron is! If you haven't tried it yet, I highly reccomend it! I couldn't resist a little lamb cookie cutter when I ordered my new pan set. :) I wish you all ...a beautiful , charming , and healthy week ahead! "Enjoy the simple things..... like the quiet time of day when the sun streams onto the kitchen counter, and the smell of Spring is in the morning air". Hugs and love, Cynthia x0
