Cornell Perennial Growing Guides<\/a>.<\/p>\nIf you’d like to try growing brunnera indoors,\u00a0you can pot\u00a0one up in a high quality soilless mix (without fertilizer).\u00a0Set the plant in a cool,\u00a0shady,\u00a0moist\u00a0(but not wet)\u00a0location. When\u00a0late\u00a0fall comes, place the pot in an unheated area\u00a0like a garage or shed\u00a0and surround the pot with bark mulch to protect the roots from freeze\u00a0and thaw cycles.\u00a0Cover with a few balsam fir boughs to protect the crown.\u00a0After\u00a0mid-February, bring\u00a0your pot\u00a0into a cool room with adequate humidity\u00a0and indirect light\u00a0and\u00a0watch it daily to\u00a0see if it awakens.\u00a0When leaves have emerged and are an inch high, apply a very diluted fertilizer-like\u00a0fish emulsion with kelp. Further watering should be done\u00a0from the base via a dish\u00a0to encourage the roots to reach down into the pot. Avoid\u00a0placing the plant near windows with full sun or in\u00a0dry rooms with direct sources of heat like a wood stove or forced hot air vents.\u00a0Since the plant\u00a0has thin, papery leaves and\u00a0likes dappled shade and moist soil,\u00a0a heated\u00a0room in your\u00a0home may not be the ideal place for it to grow.\u00a0Brunnera is a very pretty plant and gardening is all about experimenting, so it may be worth a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
