Gardening in Shade

Help with plant ID

12 years ago

This popped up in my yard this spring and has been very slow to take off thus far. I thought perhaps it's a Dead Nettle? It was located about a foot from a Jack Frost Brunnera, but I don't believe that's what it is since the Jack frost is about full size and blooming already. Any ideas?

Could it be a Brunnera seedling?

Maybe? This is my first spring at this house, so I've been busy trying to figure out what's what. I dug it up and put it into a pot for now since it was in an area I'm going to plant grass.

Is that variegation or some kind of critter damage?

It is verigated. It's more pronounced now than when I took the picture. It seems to be happy in the pot for the time being. if this is a brunnera seedling, how long will it take this plant to mature?

Looks like it wants to be Brunnera 'Jack Frost'.
