Care Information

Pruning

No routine pruning is required; remove spent flower stalks and damaged leaves for appearance, then clear old foliage in spring as new leaves emerge.

Soil pH

Acid, Alkaline, Neutral

Pests

Generally pest-free in gardens, though aphids and slugs may occasionally occur.

Diseases

Generally disease-free in gardens; overly wet crowns may develop rot, and Botrytis, Fusarium, Phytophthora, or Thielaviopsis may occur in production.

Propagation

Propagate by division in early spring or by root cuttings in winter; keep labeled stock separate from other Brunnera cultivars because seedlings do not remain true to Jack Frost.
