Jack Frost Siberian Bugloss is a shade loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown as a groundcover for its large heart shaped with silver white foliage and green primary and secondary veining and narrow edging. Airy branching clusters of pale blue forget-me-not like flowers bloom above the foliage in spring. Flowers best in part shade and rich, consistently moist well-drained soils.
