Lungwort 'High Contrast', High Contrast Lungwort, Bethlehem Sage 'High Contrast', High Contrast Bethlehem Sage
Pulmonaria ‘High Contrast’ (Lungwort) is a compact, clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with profuse clusters of large, outfacing, pink flowers maturing to blue in spring. Equally beautiful is the brilliant foliage of wavy, spear-shaped, dark green leaves, adorned with melting silver, which remains attractive throughout the entire growing season if cut back after blooming. Resistant to powdery mildew, tolerant of heat and humidity, this pretty Lungwort is evergreen in mild winter areas and is an excellent choice for shady gardens, even in the South.
