A friend in Montana tells his wife every night that what she's cooking for dinner is his favorite, and he means it. We're like that with Pulmonarias. This one is our favorite too—for its flower. It’s the truest, the showiest, the brightest blue, and the earliest to bloom. Large, richly green foliage is dappled in swank grays and silvers. Blooms February–April.

A low growing evergreen clump forming perennial. Unusual silver spotted hairy foliage augmented in spring by clusters of pink, turning blue bell-like flowers on leafy stems. A very attractive and much read about plant for a moist position in light shade.
