A new variety, Pulmonaria ‘Opal’ is an enchanting perennial, prized for its pale silvery-blue flowers that emerge in early spring. The soft, long-lasting, opalescent blooms gradually fade to a subtle pinkish hue, creating a gentle contrast against the plant’s attractive, semi-evergreen foliage. Its leaves are mid-green, and intriguingly speckled with silver markings, creating weed suppressing groundcover while adding year-round interest to shaded areas. Thriving in partial to full shade, ‘Opal’ prefers to be situated in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It is an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and ground cover beneath trees or shrubs. Once established, it is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, requiring only occasional watering during dry periods. This variety is particularly valuable for pollinators, providing an early nectar source for bees and butterflies. Pulmonaria ‘Opal’ pairs beautifully with ferns, hellebores, and hostas, creating a soft and naturalistic planting scheme. Resistant to pests and diseases, it is a reliable and elegant addition to any shade garden.
