P. longifolia (Longleaf lungwort). Densely clump-forming, rhizomatous,
deciduous perennial with narrowly lance-shaped, dark green leaves, to 18in

funnel-shaped, clear blue flowers are borne from late winter to late
spring. Zones 5-8

P.  rubra (Red lungwort).  Loosely clump-forming, rhizomatous, leafy,
evergreen perennial with elliptic, almost diamond-shaped, velvety,
unspotted, matte, bright green leaves, to 24in (60cm) long. Funnel-shaped,
