Pulmonaria angustifolia

Blue Cowslip

Plant Type:

SHADE PERENNIALS

Pulmonaria angustifolia – We've had numerous requests for the Blue Cowslip when folks have wandered through one of our woodland gardens and “oohed” and “ahhed”. Deep, dark blue clusters of florets are gorgeous in early spring. Dark green leaves with abundant silver hairs are handsome all the season long when grown in shade planted in fertile soils that never dry out entirely. Blue Cowslip will arrive cutback if purchased in our fall shipping window. Woodland draining soil. Drier in summer is better. Pot grown division.
