New Perennial of the Week

Pulmonaria Majeste. also known as Lungwort although that name doesn't sound particularly appealing to me.
Mine has been blooming in a garden under a big maple tree, for several weeks now. The flower is so unusual, pink, blue & mauve all on the same flower. It grows well in a woodland area, only gets about 12" tall and spreads 18-24" over time. It is frost hardy and overall tough plant. When the flowers are finished blooming later in June, the dotted foliage still adds an interesting contrast in the garden. In 1 gal. pots, it is regularly priced at $7.99 until May 26th it is $5.99
