Pulmonaria Cotton Cool

Cotton Cool Lungwort

Cotton Cool Lungwort has narrow, upright leaves with a silvery surface and a fine green edge. It makes a light-colored patch in a shaded border.

Spring flowers begin pink and turn blue with age. The foliage may remain through milder winters.

Keep the soil fertile and evenly moist with good drainage. Provide partial shade, and remove worn foliage when needed.
