Pulmonarias are wonderful plants for spring, producing flowers in an attractive range of pastel colours, complemented by handsome foliage. 'Blue Ensign is one of the earliest varieties to flower, creating a good display of bright, blue blooms throughout March and April. These fade gradually to purple with age. This variety is distinctive because it has plain green foliage. Plants will thrive on most soils provided they are rich in organic matter in full sun or partial shade. Plants will often die back in dry, hot, summers but will soon grow back once the weather turns colder.
