Lungwort Dark Vader

Latin Name: Pulmonaria 'Dark Vader' Height: 9 - 12 inches Spread: 18 - 24 inches Sunlight: Part Sun; Part Shade; Full Shade Bloom Time: April to May Hardiness Zone: 4-9 Description: A fine, mildew-resistant plant with a super strong, compact habit, the Dark Vader Lungwort has dark green leaves with silver spotting. Drooping, pink to dark blue-purple, funnel-shaped flowers adorn this plant each spring. Plant in an area with afternoon shade at the minimum, as Lungworts will scorch when they receive too much sun. They also perform better in summer when they have been given adequate moisture. All of this leads to the perfect perennial for a woodland garden setting; however, shady borders work just as well!
