Brunnera Diane's Gold
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking vibrant foliage and butterfly appeal.
This perennial is the ultimate cheat code for brightening dark garden corners with its electric, lime-green foliage. While the sky-blue flowers are a fleeting spring treat, the real value lies in the heart-shaped leaves that maintain their vibrant, clumping texture long after other plants have faded.
