Notes

'Cotton Cool' pulmonaria (Pulmonaria 'Cotton Cool') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland edges, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Blue flowers open from early to late spring, and the plant grows about 9 inches tall and spreads up to 18 inches.

Pairs well with Foam flower, Lenten rose, and Blue fescue.
