$10.99
Clump forming, shade-loving perennial with cobalt blue flowers in mid spring and spotted leaves. Leaves may be semi-evergreen in warm winters.
Lungwort with better tolerance to heat and humidity and very good resistance to powdery mildew. Divide in fall if plants become too crowded
Blooming Time: April (as early as late February in the south)
Size: about 1' tall x 2' wide
USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture: part shade to full shade; average, well-drained soil - prefers rich, cool, humusy soil with some consistent moisture. Tolerates some drought, but leaves may scorch and plant can turn dormant. Clumps quickly re-sprout when the conditions turn better. It likes cooler spots in the garden, but this cultivar is also recommended for more southern states
Moisture Needs: average to moist
Origin: this hybrid of P. longifolia ‘Bertram Anderson’ and P. vallarsae ‘Margery Fish’ was introduced via patent in 2002 by Dan Helms for Terra Nova Nurseries
Black Walnut Tolerant: yes
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: probably yes
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: The best use is as ground cover or filler plant, to naturalize, in cottage, woodland or any half shade/shade garden, shady rock gardens, shaded paths, underplanting under larger shrubs or trees. The best looking combo is probably with narrow-leaved Carex (sedges) or perennials with smaller leaves like Dicentra eximia, Galium odoratum or Phlox divaricata and lower groundcovering plants.
Other good companions include for example Ajuga, Asarum, Aquilegia, Astrantia (in cooler regions), Dicentra spectabilis, Brunnera, Chrysogonum (half shade), Digitalis, Epimedium, Euphorbia amygdaloides, most of hardy Geranium and Geum (both in half shade), Gillenia, Heuchera and Heucherella, Helleborus, Hosta, Iris cristata and the Asian counterparts, Lamium, Lathyrus vernus, Polemonium, Polygonatum, Penstemon calycosus, Tricyrtis, Tiarella, Tradecantia, Viola or Waldsteinia and many others. Other good combos are with spring ephemerals (Cardamine, Jeffersonia, Mertensia, Sanquinaria, Trillium) or with late blooming bulbs.
