Pulmonaria angustifolia 'Azurea' | Azurea Lungwort

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Pulmonaria angustifolia ‘Azurea’ bears bright blue, funnel-shaped flowers in early spring, opening from pinkish buds and held just above neat clumps of narrow, lance-shaped foliage. The leaves are deep green, softly textured, and notably unspotted, creating a clean backdrop for the changing flower tones as the season progresses. Blooming begins as winter fades, providing early color when few other perennials are active.

Originating from central and eastern Europe, this cultivar is valued for its dependable spring display and refined foliage. It fits naturally along woodland paths, shaded borders, and under deciduous shrubs, where flowers attract early pollinators and foliage remains tidy long after bloom.
