Single cardboard packaging that is both very simple and very clever. I even reused it as mulch. Very pleased with my orders.

Description

Pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign' is a new selection with magnificent dark green foliage, in the midst of which splendid navy-blue flowers bloom. The intense blue is rare among lungworts.

 

For once, it is not the foliage that is honoured in this new lungwort, but its flowers. The flowers bloom in spring, from April to May. The deciduous leaves are dark green.

Pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign' is an excellent spreading ground cover plant for leafy woodlands where it appreciates moist, humus-rich and well-drained soil. It tolerates dry shade very well and can live at the base of trees and conifers. It generally reaches a height of 25cm (10in) with a similar spread.

It forms beautiful associations with Muscari latifolium, Allium ursinum, and Tulipa 'Queen of the Night'.

Planting and care

Plant in rich, moist soil. If necessary, add leaf compost during planting. Ideally, plant in partial shade. Water regularly during the first season, as this helps the plant establish itself, and then it is easy to maintain.
