About Lungworts
Pulmonaria are perennials that grow from a deciduous basal rosette, usually no more than 6-10" tall with a spread up to 2'. Pulmonaria flower in late winter/very early spring, some often beginning around the end of February. The flowers, most of which emerge usually either pink or violet, typically change to blue as they age. The flowers are borne in corymbs on short stalks that reach just above the foliage. Pulmonaria generally retain their foliage until late winter, becoming mostly deciduous (depending on parentage) just before the new season's flowering and regrowth begin.
