Pulmonaria officinalis (Take 2!)

Commonly known as Lungwort, Pulmonaria officinalis is a very compact, low-maintenance ground cover perennial with an abundance of spring flowers.

- This exact variety is unknown as its been growing in the garden for many years, so we will just call it Pulmonaria officinalis (Take 2!) 'From Roundabout', which is where I have dug it up from! Not to be confused with our other homegrown Pulmonaria officinalis 'By The Glasshouse', which is growing mere meters away 😂

- The flowering for this one is the same as our other Pulmonaria, produced in abundance in clusters which start off pink when they first open, darkening to blue as the mature, giving a stunning two-tone effect as the flowers appear in their different stages throughout its flowering period. 

- The leaves of this variety differ from the others as the silver is much more dominant, in some cases covering more than 3/4 of the leaf. As it is semi-evergreen, it usually retains some foliage for the winter too. 

- Best suited to semi-shade and deep shade, while also tolerating some full sun positions providing it does not dry out too much. A stunning addition to the front of borders or planting between trees and shrubs, wildlife gardens and for shaded rockery areas. Said to be deer and rabbit resistant. 

- Its long flowering time and spring flowers are a very important food source for early season pollinators such as Bumblebees, Solitary Bees and Hoverflies. 

- Height and Spread approx. 20-30cm x 40-60cm. 

- Supplied in a 9cm pot
