Pulmonaria

Pulmonaria, a group of about 18 perennial herbaceous species in the borage family, offers a charming addition to any shady garden. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, these plants captivate with early-spring blooms in blue, pink, or white, alongside striking silver-spotted leaves that resemble lung tissue—an intriguing feature that inspired their name. Ideal for creating pollinator-friendly borders, Pulmonaria thrives in moist, woodland-like settings, making it a beautiful and beneficial choice for your garden.
