Blooming in early spring, the plant sets sprays of funnel-shaped flowers that emerge coral-pink and turn violet with age. Bees adore these pollen and nectar-rich flowers. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Pulmonaria saccharata, commonly known as Bethlehem sage or lungwort, 'Margery Fish' is an herbaceous plant with a low growing, spreading habit of long, elliptical leaves heavily speckled and spotted with silver that form a fuzzy basal rosette. Rhizomatous, the plant slowly spreads by creeping roots, but is not invasive. A cottage garden classic, shown to best effect when massed or grouped, lungwort is typically grown as a showy groundcover in mixed beds and borders, but it makes a fine specimen and container plant too. It is especially nice planted in large drifts with ferns and astilbes or under trees, shrubs, and large clumps of daylilies and peonies. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTough and adaptable, lungwort prefers full to dappled shade and cool, humusy, organically rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils but tolerates some morning sun. The plant is very intolerant of wet soils but should never be allowed to dry out completely; however, it does tolerate some drought once established. It is deer and black walnut resistant. Cut off old flowering stems to tidy the plant and prevent self-seeding. Divide clumps in fall if overcrowded. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"parkseed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354665816123,"sku":"28920","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/8580\/4859\/files\/Product_MediaImage_28920_1.jpg?v=1753891760","url":"https:\/\/www.parkseed.mom\/products\/pulmonaria-margery-fish-28920","provider":"Park Seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
