Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Named for Loie Benedict who had a garden in the Seattle area. This is one of the finest of all blue pulmonarias available. The glowing blue flowers are followed by lightly spotted green leaves

By: Gossler Farms

The lush foliage of 'Benediction', with its widely spaced silver spots, ranks above that of other dark green-leafed Pulmonarias. A favorite for massing, we especially enjoy the profusion of deep blue flowers when planted next to Epimedium x rubrum and Euphorbia 'Great Dixter'.

This was a seedling in Auburn WA plantswoman Loie Benedict's garden and was selected and introduced by our friend and guru Jerry John Flintoff. Good spotting on green mildew resistant leaves and an inspiring display of perhaps the best blue flowers of any Lungwort.
