Mrs. Moon Lungwort
Pulmonaria saccharata 'Mrs. Moon'
Add early spring color and beautiful foliage to your shade garden with the classic charm of Mrs. Moon Lungwort. This dependable perennial is one of the first to bloom in spring, producing clusters of funnel-shaped flowers that open pink and mature to rich blue—often displaying both colors on the plant at once for a delightful two-tone effect.
The eye-catching blooms are held above attractive silver-spotted green leaves that form a dense, low-growing mound of groundcover. The foliage remains ornamental throughout the season, adding texture and brightness to shady spaces even after the flowers fade.
Ideal for woodland gardens, borders, or underplanting shrubs and trees, Mrs. Moon thrives in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. It’s deer-resistant, pollinator-friendly, and very low maintenance—making it a favorite among gardeners who want reliable spring interest and season-long foliage beauty.
