One of the earliest to flower, award-winner Pulmonaria ‘Blue Ensign’ (Lungwort) is a clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with showy clusters of bright sapphire-blue flowers in spring. Strong-growing, it forms a compact foliage mound of broad, dark green leaves, which remains attractive throughout the entire growing season if cut back after blooming. Evergreen in mild winter regions, this plant is an excellent choice for shady gardens.
