Pulmonaria longifolia 'Roy Davidson' (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Lungwort, Bethlehem Sage.
Zone 3 to 8 (9).
Part shade to full shade.
Mature height is 8 to 10 inches, 18 to 24 inches spread.
Clump-forming herbaceous perennial spreads slowly by creeping roots.
Flowers open pink and mature to sky blue. The long and narrow leaves, heavily spotted with silver, are smaller than many other varieties of pulmonaria.
Pulmonarias are easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil, but prefer cool soils that are highly organic and moisture retentive. While dry conditions can lead to powdery mildew and leaf scorch, Lungwort is intolerant of wet, poorly drained soils. Prune to ground level for a fresh foliage growth. Best time to divide clumps is in the fall.
Attributes: Border plants, Container, Cut flower, Edging, Mass Planting. Attracts hummingbirds. Deer and rabbit resistant. |
