Pulmonaria longifolia ‘Bertram Anderson’ (Lungwort) is a clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with profuse clusters of bright gentian blue flowers emerging from vibrant pink buds in late spring. Strong-growing, it forms a luminous foliage mound of long, narrow, deep green leaves that are dramatically spotted in silver, and remain attractive throughout the entire growing season if cut back after blooming. Evergreen in mild winter regions, this plant is outstanding for mass plantings and an excellent choice for shady gardens.
