Pulmonaria ‘Roy Davidson’

Lungwort

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.449.150

Despite the horrid common name, Lungworts are valuable perennials for the shade garden, dependable in their long display through the spring season. This selection has long, narrow dark green leaves, heavily spotted with silver, and clusters of dangling pale blue bell flowers. Foliage will remain attractive all season long, so long as the plants are clipped back hard immediately after blooming. Good disease resistance, and also tolerant of hot, humid summer regions. Plants are easily divided in spring or early fall. May be planted in tubs, as well as in the garden.
