Bethlehem sage

Pulmonaria saccharata

Bethlehem Sage (Pulmonaria saccharata) is a striking semi-evergreen perennial plant, native to the woodlands of the southeastern United States. Striking silver, green, and purple foliage on a robust mound makes for a showy garden accent. Clusters of small, pink to purple bell-shaped flowers bloom in mid to late spring, followed by blue-green seed heads in early summer. This easy-care beauty is drought tolerant and deer-resistant. Plant Bethlehem Sage in a sunny or partially shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil. Be sure to divide this plant every few years to keep it vigorous.
