This is a French introduction from La Ferme Fluerie Nursery. It is worthy of growing in a shady moist garden for its solid colored silver leaves and blue/pink flowers in the Spring.

This must be one of the lovliest lungwort for foliage ('Excaliber' is also excellent). I've had this one for three years and have been very pleased by the foliage all season. The typical lungwort flowers contrast nicely against the foliage. Highly recommended.
