Zn 3. Solid silvery-gray leaves. Bluish-pink bloom

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Has glorious large silver leaves springfall. This easy woodlander has blue-pink flower in early spring.

By: Gossler Farms

An easy-to-grow, noninvasive ground cover, 'Majeste' is quickly gratifying. Leaves sheened with silver, its March-April bloom has short sprays of rich blue flowers and pink flowers, too - a perennial curiosity and delight. 12" high x 15" wide. Minimum temperature: -30 °F

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

Solidly sheened with silver, ‘Majesté’s thick leafage is extremely elegant—even without any flowers. But in early spring, short arching sprays of both blue and pink blooms make an appearance and, against the leaves, it’s a color-rich delight. Omphalodes ‘Cherry Ingram’s greenery offers a vivid contrast. Blooms March–April.

By: Digging Dog Nursery

Leaves of almost all silver with just a touch of green. Pink/blue flowers.

By: Hoot Owl Hollow Nursery

Almost completely silver foliage adds wonderful contrast to blue and dark colored foliage plants in the shade garden. In early spring, arching stems bearing nodding blue aging to pink bells adorn this plant. Cut back spent blossoms to encourage a quick new flush of foliage.

By: Avant Gardens

Solid pewter leaves characterize this plant which is such a foolproof addition to the shade garden. You really have to work at making this fail as it is tolerant of some neglect as long as it doesn't get real dry. Pink and blue flowers in spring which are ignored by the deer along with the leaves.

By: Far Reaches Farm

Said to be one of the very best of the lungworts, perhaps THE best, with its silver leaves barely marked green on the edges and central vein. Stunning by itself and fabulous in early spring topped with clusters of large, blue flowers tinted lavender. Every shady garden needs one in afternoon or dappled shade in rich soil that is well-drained and watered consistently in summer. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4.
