Pulmonaria 'Dark Vader' offers early season colour in the spring garden with semi-evergreen, boldly silver-spotted, elliptic leaves and large clusters of bell-shaped, multi-coloured flowers that emerge raspberry-red aging through warm purple to beautiful blue.

Ideal for the shade garden, mixed beds, under high branching shrubs, or in the woodland garden or mass plant as a ground cover. Lungworts are an important early season nectar source for hummingbirds and bees. Deer resistant.

A fine, mildew resistant plant with a super strong habit. Silver spotting and pink to dark blue flowers adorn this plant. This is one of Dan's favorites.
