Nursery contributed plant descriptions

With foliage that's more diminutive than other Pulmonarias, this compact Lungwort can easily squeeze into an intimate space. While the deep cobalt blue of the flowers fades to a softer purple, the distinct silver spots of the narrow leaves remain intense and dazzling. We let 'Little Star' skirt the ground beneath the gilded foliage of Clematis 'Stolwijk Gold' for a dramatic foliar contrast.
