Bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla 'Alexander's Great') is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in part shade. Prefers consistently moist, organically rich soils in shady areas. Generally intolerant of dry soils, but tolerates some dryness better than most other cultivars of this species. Foliage may scorch in hot summer sun. Clumps slowly spread by creeping rhizomes to form thick ground covers.
