Brunnera macrophylla - Great forget-me-not
Kærmindesøster er en 20-30 cm høj staude, som har stive blade og stængler sammenlignet med forglemmigej. Dens blade er nærmest hjerteformede. Det er en meget robust staude.
Sprays of small blue flowers, similar to those seen in the related forget-me-nots, are borne from mid-spring and bloom for eight to ten weeks.
The plant is valued as groundcover in shady areas, and has clumps of large heart-shaped leaves of about six inches (15 cm); these usually have white or cream markings, and are present all season. Plants are happy in any shady area that stays relatively moist. It often self-seeds, appearing around the garden in other places. Clumps may be easily divided in early fall.
