Pulmonaria 'Blue Ensign' is a striking variety of Lungwort known for its brilliant, true blue flowers and attractive foliage. This herbaceous perennial is particularly valued for its early spring bloom, providing a splash of vibrant color when few other plants are in flower. The flowers of 'Blue Ensign' emerge from pink buds, creating a charming contrast before fully transitioning to their distinctive blue hue. The plant's foliage is equally appealing, featuring dark green, lance-shaped leaves that remain attractive throughout the growing season. 'Blue Ensign' is an excellent ground cover choice, thriving in shady spots under trees or in woodland gardens, where its vivid blooms can brighten up darker areas.
