Narrow-leaf lungwort
Pulmonaria longifolia
Narrow-leaf Lungwort (Pulmonaria longifolia) is an elegant shade-loving perennial prized for its long, silver-spotted foliage and early spring flowers in shades of blue and pink. Plant it in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil in partial to full shade, and water regularly during the growing season to prevent leaf scorch. It is a wonderfully low-maintenance plant that brightens dark corners of the garden and provides valuable early-season nectar for bees.
