Lungwort (Pulmonaria) - Detailed Description

Foliage:

• The leaves are oblong to lance-shaped, with a rough, hairy texture.

• They display a distinctive mottling—green with silvery-white spots or blotches, which is one of the lungwort’s standout features.

• The foliage remains attractive throughout the season, making it valuable in shade gardens.

Flowers:

• Lungworts typically bloom in early spring.

• Flowers are bell-shaped and often appear in clusters.

• Colors range from pink and blue to violet, and some may even change color as they age.

• In this image, the flowers are not clearly visible, suggesting it's either post-bloom or a non-flowering phase.

Growth Habit:

• Compact, clump-forming plant.

• Typically grows 8–12 inches tall and spreads 12–18 inches.

• Ideal for borders, woodland gardens, or as ground cover in shaded areas.

Culture:

• Light: Prefers partial to full shade.

• Soil: Moist, well-draining, rich in organic matter.

• Water: Consistent moisture is key; avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

• Maintenance: Low. Deadheading spent blooms and removing damaged foliage keeps the plant tidy.
