Quick Overview:

Lungworts are one of the classic shade perennials, and what better way to celebrate spring than with an explosion of pink flowers? Large, bright rose pink flowers stay consistently pink and are produced in large flower clusters over a low and wide habit. Dark green leaves are lightly to moderately speckled with silver, so you can enjoy the interesting foliage after it has finished blooming. This plant will thrive in part shade to full shade given consistent moisture.

Description

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers cool, organically rich, humusy soils that are kept consistently moist. Soils must not be allowed to dry out. Plants may go into dormancy in the heat of summer if soils become too dry. Foliage may depreciate considerably in hot summer weather and may scorch if grown in too much sun. Although plants tolerate light morning sun, they need afternoon shade. Remove flower stems after bloom. Plants spread slowly by creeping roots. Divide plants in fall if they become too crowded
