Clump forming deciduous plants with dark green wavy marginated leaves. Leaves smaller than most Pulmonaria growing to 8 inches in length and having greenish to whitish spots. Plants blooming in early spring with violet flowers turning purple with age. Plants 5-13 inches in height. Mix in with Hosta and spring bulbs.
Plants are tough and adaptable taking some drought once established.
Lungworts make showy ground covers and the newer forms are great specimen plants too. Cut off old flowering stems to prevent seeding and to tidy up the clumps. Plants can be grown under large clumps of day lilies and Peonies. They look outstanding in large drifts mixed with ferns and Astilbe. Mass plantings are eye caching and individual plants will over a few years grow into large clumps.
