Pulmonaria longifolia cevennensis - 2026

Pulmonaria longifolia 'Cevennensis' is a clump-forming perennial with narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and an elegant display of pale blue to sky-blue, funnel-shaped flowers in early spring. The flowers are borne above the foliage, providing early-season colour in borders, woodland gardens, or shaded rockeries. Its slender, upright habit adds structure to shady areas, while the compact growth makes it ideal for underplanting shrubs or planting along shaded pathways. This cultivar attracts early-season pollinators, offering both ecological and ornamental value.

It thrives in partial shade to full shade in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Low-maintenance once established, it benefits from regular watering during dry periods. Although non-native to the UK, it is a reliable choice for long-lasting spring colour and texture in shaded garden settings.
