PULMONARIA OPAL

Compact form, large opalescent pale blue flowers the colour and shape of plastic bath caps Mar-May, good silver-spotted dark green leaves, 25cm.

A luminous addition to the spring garden, Pulmonaria ‘Opal’ is prized for its shimmering clusters of pale, ice-blue flowers that appear in early spring. The blooms sit elegantly above striking, lance-shaped foliage which is heavily silvered with distinctive spotting, providing excellent decorative interest long after the flowers have faded.

This semi-evergreen perennial is a superb choice for shady borders or woodland planting and it acts as an invaluable early nectar source for pollinators. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it a perfect groundcover for suppressing weeds under deciduous trees or shrubs.

March-May flowering. Best in shade or semi-shade in most soil types. Height & spread: 45cm x 45cm (18″ x 18″).
