Pulmonaria Opal
Pulmonaria Opal is a semievergreen perennial celebrated for its nearly year-round foliar interest, featuring mottled gray-green leaves splashed with silver polka dots. In spring, it produces charming, funnel-shaped flowers that open pale pink and mature to clear blue or nearly white. This herbaceous plant has a low, clumping, and spreading habit, making it excellent for mass planting, groundcover, or edging in shady areas. It attracts pollinators with its nectar- and pollen-rich blooms. Requiring moist, well-drained soil, this low-maintenance variety is deer and black walnut resistant, thriving in dappled shade.
