Technically, all Jack Frost plants should be EXACTLY the same, no matter who sells them or where they come from. That is the definition of a cultivar - they are vegetatively reproduce, not from seed that can give significant genetic variation. That said, mutations have been known to occur even with vegetative propagation, and suddenly there are two (or more) slightly different types of the same cultivar. A possibility with Jack Frost. However, my gut feeling is that this is not the case with JF. It has always exhibited temperamental hardiness, ever since it was first introduced. Also a gut feeling from my 25 years of growing marginally hardy perennials, winter wet can play a major role in winter survival, even if it is not an alpine or dryland plant. My best advice is do not water it going into the winter, as many may suggest for perennials in general.

Three healthy and happy plants are growing in my garden, and they have easily survived 2 winters, so far. They are not the first perennials to emerge in spring, so late frosts don't seem to hit them. They can still be quite pricey at some nurseries, but I bought 2 of my plants at a big box store (Rona) for no more than other perennials in the same size pot. (I don't think they realized what they had.) The other was bought, on sale, at Home Depot. I absolutely adore this Brunnera! With a little protection, it should grow well in a protected spot in your yard.

Northern Dutchess Botanical had it last year and will probably be offering it this year. They only had a few plants out when I was there last Saturday - windy and cold. I also saw it at Story's in Freehold. And I'm sure Clare's in Patterson will have it.

Jant - sorry about your Brunneras. Did you do anything different with them last fall/winter? Did you mulch them over the winter? That is very weird. The April cold snap zapped only 1 of mine (a Hadspen Cream). It's alive, but struggling and much smaller than previous years. The others (including a "Jack Frost" & "Hadspen Cream") were fine. I think the 1 that got zapped had put out more new growth than the others & had lost much of its winter mulch. Susan hb - I'm not very good at posting photos, but here goes. Sign up at photobucket.com. Upload your photos there. Then copy the second line, go to the post and paste it in the text with Control V. On the preview, you should see the photo. BTW I believe the pronounciation is "BRUN-er-ah" because it was named in honor of Brunner.
