Description
Le Brunnera macrophylla 'Emerald Mist' est un excellent couvre-sol, à la fois robuste, rustique et très décoratif par son feuillage clair largement marbré d'argent. Avec le temps, cette vivace forme un épais tapis ponctué de petites fleurs de myosotis au printemps. On l'utilise pour végétaliser un sous-bois clair, sous des arbustes ou associée à d’autres vivaces d’ombre fraîche.
Le brunnera appartient à la famille des Boraginacées, comme les myosotis auxquels ses fleurs ressemblent beaucoup. C’est une vivace herbacée rhizomateuse et caduque : ses feuilles disparaissent en hiver, sa souche redémarre au printemps. L'espèce type Brunnera macrophylla pousse naturellement du nord-est de la Turquie au Caucase, dans des milieux boisés où le sol conserve de la fraîcheur. La variété 'Emerald Mist' a été découverte par Michael G. Kwantes dans une pépinière du Michigan, parmi des plants de Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’. La plante forme d'abord une touffe arrondie d’une quarantaine de centimètres en tous sens, puis s’élargit lentement par le biais de courts rhizomes. Les feuilles basales, portées par de longs pétioles, sont largement cordiformes, légèrement rugueuses et peuvent atteindre 15 cm de long. Leur centre conserve une belle plage verte, tandis que de larges taches argentées apparaissent entre les nervures, surtout vers la périphérie. Un fin poudrage argenté gagne aussi les parties vertes au cours de la saison, ce qui donne au feuillage son aspect brumeux caractéristique. En avril et mai, de fines tiges ramifiées s’élèvent au-dessus des feuilles et portent de très nombreuses fleurs bleu clair, semblables à de petits myosotis, larges de moins d’un centimètre. La floraison dure plusieurs semaines puis le feuillage prend de l'amplitude. Cette variété est suffisamment compacte pour former de belles petites colonies sans pour cela étouffer ses voisines. Elle est rustique jusqu'à -20/-25°C et accepte aussi bien les terres argileuses que calcaires si elles sont drainées. Son principal point faible est la chaleur sèche.
Le Brunnera Emerald Mist est idéal dans un jardin sauvage, en couvre-sol, pour border une allée ombragée ou végétaliser une rocaille humide. Il s’associera naturellement avec une fougère telle que le Dryopteris erythrosora, le Geranium nodosum ‘Silverwood’, l’Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee' et le Polygonatum odoratum. Le vert franc des fougères et du sceau-de-Salomon met en valeur ses feuilles marbrées d’argent, tandis que les fleurs blanches du géranium et les petites fleurs rose lilas de l’épimédium accompagnent sa floraison printanière. Ces vivaces peuvent aussi être plantées au pied des arbres et des arbustes, pour peu que le sol y reste un peu frais en été.

Planting and care
Brunnera macrophylla ‘Emerald Mist’ is planted from February to April or from September to November, in partial shade or light shade. Choose a humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil; clay is suitable if it has been broken up with compost or leaf mould. Water regularly during the first year, then whenever the soil becomes persistently dry in summer. Avoid the scorching sun, especially in very sunny regions. Slugs may nibble the young shoots in spring. Remove damaged leaves during the season if necessary, then let the foliage die down naturally in autumn. Clumps are divided in spring or autumn. Growing in pots is possible in shade, with regular watering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
