One of my very first purchases from Proven Winners was 5 of these plants. Having them delivered to my front door was certainly a treat! And the plants--WOW! Much bigger than I expected. To have both blue and pink blooms on the same plant is always a surprise & after blooming, the spotted leaf is a nice look in the garden. Being deer resistant is a high priority in my garden, too--I often think I have a deer buffet going on; but the deer have NEVER touched these! Do be generous with your watering. My Lungwort seems to be constantly thirsty. Great plants. EZ care. Pretty flowers. What's not to like?!

Absolutely love these! The flowers and the foliage are both great looking!! Rabbits and deer got so many of my plants this year, but the two of these that I planted were left unharmed.
