Pulmonaria, commonly known as lungwort, is a perennial flowering plant belonging to the Boraginaceae family. It is native to Europe and parts of Asia, thriving in moist, shaded environments. The plant features distinctive spotted leaves and produces clusters of small, tubular flowers that can be blue, pink, or white, depending on the species. Historically, Pulmonaria was used in herbal medicine for its potential benefits to lung health, as its name suggests. The plant is also valued in gardens for its early spring blooms and ability to attract pollinators like bees. Its hardy nature makes it a popular choice for shaded garden areas.
