 |
 |
| |
 | Pulmonaria ‘Excalibur’ |
| Common name : Lungwort |
| |
|
|
| |
| 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 deep rosy-purple bells, with wavy, intensely silvered leaves, edged in green. 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. Good tolerance to powdery mildew. USPP#8958: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
