Bethlehem sage, lungwort (Pulmonaria saccharata 'Mrs. Moon') Genus:  Pulmonaria This cheerful, reliable plant brings a nice touch of color to the garden in spring. The leaves are pointed and hairy and splattered with silvery blotches. As the plant grows, the leaves overlap, creating a swirly pattern. In spring, clusters of silky pink flowers appear. They fade to a soft blue that harmonizes well with the leaf color. -Sue Whetten, Regional Picks: Rocky Mountains, Fine Gardening issue #127 Noteworthy Characteristics:  Makes a great groundcover. Care:  Moist, rich soil. Propagation:   Divide plants in fall.
