Description
Common Name: Lungwort, Bethlehem Sage
Tolerant of heat and humidity, this is one of the favorites of the entire TERRA NOVA® breeding team!
The flashiest Pulmonaria with great garden vigor, compact growth habit, and mildew-resistance. Shimmering silver-white leaves are rounded with a thin edge of darkest green that makes the silvering really pop. When in bloom during late winter and spring, the foliage flaunts silver speckles of pale, blue-white flowers.
