| | Common Name: | Lungwort | | Bloom color: | Blue | | Height: | 12" | | Bloom: | May | | Hardiness: | 3-9 | | Light: | Part Sun, Shade | | Soil: | Moist, well-drained, organic | Why you need this plant: From the same French breeder that introduced 'Majeste' comes this new selection which is a cross between P. 'Majeste' and P. cevenensis. Blue flowers are produced in late spring. The long leaves are an amazing pure silver like a samurai's sword. It's simply luminous! Use this plant to lighten up those heavily shaded corners of your garden. Pulmonaria is an underused perennial that is especially attractive when planted among hostas, ferns, and brunneras. Its flowers are among the most brilliantly colored blossoms of all perennials. | | | Planting Info: Pulmonarias do best in a highly organic, moisture retentive soil. Dry conditions can lead to powdery mildew and leaf scorch. Clean up in the spring by removing old or damaged foliage from the previous year. Some of the older cultivars can open up in the center and thus it becomes necessary to prune them down to ground level for a new fresh flush of foliage. If plants decline or are affected by powdery mildew, prune them back to ground level as well. Pulmonarias spread slowly by creeping rhizomes, forming a nice patch of foliage. If you would like to divide a clump, it is best to do it in the fall. | |
