'Diana Clare' is one of many Pulmonaria hybrids.
She belongs to the Pulmonaria longifolia species.
(This past year's growing season began very very early.
Diana looked like this by mid-April, 2010.)
Do you agree she's Darling?
She's one of my favorite early flowering herbaceous perennials!
Pronounced pul-muh-NAIR-ee-uh, the common name is Lungwort.
This plant is suited for zones 3 - 8 and enjoys part to full shade.
It loves humus-rich, moist but well-drained, woodland settings.
Pulmonaria grows and blooms in the early Spring
(Here you see Diana in early-April 2009. She's not very big, yet.)
(April 28, 2008)
Early on, many of her leaves are spotted, but several are not.
As time goes on, she loses those early spotted leaves and the plain ones
grow much longer. This is indicative of those plants belonging to the species P. longifolia.
This photo was taken in October 25, 2009 (forgive the blurriness).
Delightful in the Dappled Shade Garden, 'Diana Clare' is not only Dependable, but she is Deer resistant! Do check out 'Diana' as well as her many Diverse relatives within the Pulmonaria family.
Have a great Day!
