Lungwort (Pulmonaria)

The silver-spotted foliage and pink-and-blue flowers of Lungwort, an early-blooming perennial.

Spotted Beauty for the Shade

Lungwort is a fantastic solution for brightening up a dark, shady corner. It is grown for its unique leaves, which are green with striking silver or white polka dots. In early spring, it produces clusters of funnel-shaped flowers that often start pink and mature to blue on the same plant.

Why You Need It:

  • Deer Resistant: The hairy leaves are unappealing to deer.
  • Early Bloomer: Provides nectar for the very first bees of spring.
  • Foliage Interest: The spotted leaves look exotic and interesting all season.

Planting Tips:

Thrives in Full Shade to Part Shade. It loves moisture, so don't let it dry out completely. It pairs beautifully with Ferns and Hostas.
