Rating for this plant:
This plant is attractive both in bloom and out: the flowers are dainty and progress from a pink to a lavendar and finally to a blue; the folidage varigated, green with white dots, very attractive even when not in bloom. HOWEVER, in my garden it self-sows everywhere, even to the lawn. I have pulmonaria coming up everywhere!

I like this opinion
