Silver Scimitar Pulmonaria, also known as Lungwort, is a clumping perennial noted for its shimmering silver-accented foliage and early spring flowers. Its foliage brings light contrast to shady garden areas, and spring blooms add seasonal color to woodland gardens, beds, or mixed plantings. Pulmonaria x ‘Silver Scimitar’ USPP35669 is cold hardy and a strong performer in shaded settings.
Use Silver Scimitar Pulmonaria as a groundcover or edging plant in shade gardens, mixed borders, or woodland beds where its foliage texture and spring flowers can be appreciated. It also supports garden wildlife activity in the early season.
Silver Scimitar Pulmonaria Care
Plant Silver Scimitar Pulmonaria in full to part sun (about 3–6+ hours of direct sunlight per day). Provide well-drained soil and water consistently while the plant becomes established. Maintain regular moisture, especially in hotter weather, to support healthy foliage and flowering in spring.
Silver Scimitar Pulmonaria Spacing
Silver Scimitar Pulmonaria grows approximately 8 inches tall and 22 inches wide at maturity. Space plants about 18 to 24 inches apart for groundcover beds or mass plantings, or allow each plant room to develop its natural form in mixed beds.
