Fieldstone Gardens Pulmonaria longifolia Majeste

Yes, Pulmonaria is generally considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, the texture and taste of these leaves are typically unappealing to deer, making them a reliable choice for areas with high wildlife traffic.

It thrives in full to partial shade. In cooler climates, it can handle a bit more morning sun, but in hotter regions, it is essential to provide afternoon shade to prevent the foliage from scorching.

The color shift from pink to blue is a natural chemical reaction within the flower as it ages and its pH levels change. This creates a lovely multi-tonal effect where you often see both pink and blue blooms on the same plant simultaneously.

With a spread of 12 to 24 inches, it works well as a ground cover in shaded areas. It is particularly effective when planted in groups or drifts under trees and shrubs, where its silvery foliage can brighten up dark spaces.

This variety is quite hardy, thriving in zones 3 through 9. It is built to withstand cold winters and will return reliably each spring.
