Pulmonaria 'Silver Bouquet'

There are many silver-leaved plants that will grow in full sun, but for silver that shines in shade, look to the Lungworts. Introduced by Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon, 'Silver Bouquet' combines mildew-resistant, lance-shaped silver foliage with flowers that change from pink to blue. PP 20,059

These shade-loving natives of Europe and Asia are among the easiest and most desirable perennials for low light. Pulmonarias spread slowly from the initial clump to form an attractive ground cover. Choose a spot for them that stays moist (not wet) and has soil rich in organic matter. Cutting off old leaves right after bloom will stimulate a fresh crop that will look good for the rest of the season. They make an exquisite underplanting for Ferns, Hostas, and spring-flowering bulbs such as Daffodils. They're also useful as a soft but bright edging for a shady border.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
