High Contrast Lungwort is a shade loving semi-evergreen perennial with wavy green foliage heavily mottled with silver. Short stocks sporting burgundy buds that open to drooping clusters of small pink funnel-shaped flowers that age to blue and bloom from early to mid spring attracting butterflies. Best flowering in part shade and rich, evenly moist well-drained soils. High Contrast is highly mildew resistant and well suited for the humid summers of the south.
