    This is supposedly a heat tolerant variety of variegated brunnera. When I purchased it early this spring, the leaves were tiny and looked lanky, but bigger leaves have come in and filled in pretty nicely. I'm still waiting to see if it holds up to heat and humidity. Right now it receives 50% bright shade and 50% direct sun, but there's no sign of melting or burning.
