Pulmonaria 'Mrs. Moon'

Bethlehem Sage, Mrs Moon Bethlehem Sage

Mrs. Moon Lungwort combines pink buds with lilac-blue flowers, creating a changing display from late winter into early spring. Softly hairy green leaves are scattered with pale spots.

The plant spreads into a broad leafy clump and may retain foliage in mild conditions. Its marbled leaves make a useful foil for plain-green ferns and other plants in a shaded border.

Grow in partial to full shade in fertile, evenly moist soil with good drainage.
