Pulmonaria Silver Bouquet (Lungwort)

Pulmonaria 'Silver Bouquet' (Lungwort) is a compact, clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with profuse clusters of large, outfacing, coral to pink to violet flowers in spring. Equally beautiful is the silvery foliage of slender, pointed leaves, which remains attractive throughout the entire growing season if cut back after blooming. Resistant to powdery mildew, tolerant of heat and humidity, this pretty Lungwort is evergreen in mild winter areas and is an excellent choice for shady gardens, even in the South.
