Green, Silver and Blue Foliage Combo as Groundcover

A light and bright groundcover for a shady spot; this trio of perennials delivers. In spring, delicate blue blooms of Brunnerra 'Jack Frost' add a spot of color, later giving way to large heart-shaped foliage of silver variegation. Textural contrast of the leathery, variegated foliage of Asarum splendens and finely textured Carex conica 'Snowline' add all-season appeal.
