Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A fountain of intensely silver foliage, edged and splashed with lime-green makes this disease-resistant shade lover striking spring-fall, especially in early spring with pink-to-purple flowers; 20" clump to 7" tall. PSh/M/GDr (not dry)

With strong P. cevennensis "blood" this lovely silver pulmonaria is a hit in the garden or nursery. It does well in containers like P. cevennensis but has foliage that is shorter and mostly all silver and larger flowers that change from pink to blue. Mildew resistant.

This one has it all - cevennensis breeding for mildew resistance, heat and humidity tolerance and upright habit with large coral to pink to violet flowers that "look at you." Features an excellent shelf life with a very short delay from flower to foliage form. Spectacular silver foliage for year round sales makes this a winner!
