Pulmonaria ‘Blue Ensign’


Lungwort

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.449.060


Despite their unfortunate common name, Lungworts are among the most dependable and showy spring-blooming perennials, and many types have attractive foliage throughout the season. This selection features clusters of bright sapphire-blue bells, with broad green leaves that have no silver spotting. Mounds are compact to medium in size. Plants should be cut back hard immediately after blooming, to rejuvenate the leaves, which will then remain attractive all season. Evergreen in mild winter regions. In colder climates, remove any browned foliage in early spring.
