Polemonium caeruleum
Jacob’s Ladder  (Zone 2)
Another great North American native that could be used more than it currently is. Blue to sometimes pinkish cup-shaped flowers appear in clusters in Early to Mid-season. The fern-like foliage forms a nice clump and then extends upright 18-24" at bloom time. In areas with hot summers, Jacob’s ladder performs best in part-shade in average soil that should be well-drained, especially in winter!

...............Available in 1-Quart only.
 

Polemonium caeruleum ‘Brise D’Anjou' (PP9781)

...............Not available for 2011.

Polemonium carneum ‘Apricot Delight’
Jacob’s Ladder  (Zone 5-6)
This selection from the western U.S. species is a little harder to grow than the eastern species but very beautiful in the collectors garden.

If used properly it is a very functional plant.
...............Available in IMPACT container only.

Potentilla megalantha
Wooly Cinquefoil  (Zone 2)
Another warm and fuzzy plant. Silvery foliage is soft and velvety. It forms a nice, well behaved mound that in early summer is colored with large bright yellow flowers.

...............Available in 1-Quart only.

Pulmonaria 'Dark Vader' (PP12333)
Lungwort  (Zone 3)

Silver speckles cover the beautiful dark green leaves of this new hybrid. ‘Dark Vader’ is a vigorous clump forming perennial that produces sprays of blue-purple and pink flowers in early spring. This strong, mildew resistant plant performs best in part shade and grows to about 10-12".
..............Available in IMPACT container only.

Pulmonaria longifolia ‘E. B. Anderson’
Lungwort  (Zone 3)

This selection is synonymous with ‘Bertram Anderson' in the trade. Pulmonarias are a relatively underused and under appreciated Genus of perennials. The foliage is one of the main selling points. The leaves of 'E. B. Anderson' are long and narrow with silvery-white spots mottling the foliage. The clump grows to 12" tall. There are occasionally cultural problems with botrytis and powdery mildew if the air circulation and light levels are not ample enough. Careful watering, morning sun, consistently moist soil, and part-shade in the afternoon will benefit these greatly.
...............Available in IMPACT container only.

Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Splash’ (PP12138)
Lungwort  (Zone 3)
This premium selection is unique in that it has wonderful raspberry red flowers instead of the more typical blues and pinks. The foliage is somewhat upright growing with the typical silver spotting. It grows to about 12" tall and prefers a partially shaded location and consistent soil moisture. This is a unique selection well worth trying!
...............Available in IMPACT container only.

Pulmonaria ‘Roy Davidson’
Lungwort  (Zone 3)
This cultivar is a hybrid between Pulmonaria longifolia (long-leafed lungwort) and P. saccharata (Bethlehem Sage). This selection has the long, narrow foliage of the P. longifolia types, with the striking white spottiness of P. saccharata. ‘Roy Davidson' will grow to 12" and produces lovely, pale blue flowers. The main selling point for this cultivar is that it is reputed to be more heat tolerant than other pulmonarias, which would extend its growing range further into the south. This has the same Early-season bloom time and cultural requirements as other Pulmonarias.
...............Available in IMPACT container only.
 

Pulsatilla vulgaris 
Pasque Flower  (Zone 5)

An excellent plant for Early-season interest in the garden! The silvery-green foliage appears in late winter and is quickly followed by wine-colored flowers even before the foliage has completely emerged. The flowers are then followed by silky seed heads that persist into summer. Excellent along paths or in the rock garden, Common Pasque Flower grows to about 18" tall (in flower) in full sun, and extremely well-drained soils.
...............Available in 1-Quart only.
 

Pulsatilla vulgaris ‘Red Clock’
Pasque Flower  (Zone 5)
The single red flowers of this Pulsatilla are sure to add some heat to the spring garden! Plants only reach 12" tall, so place toward the front or the border. The soft texture and feathery seed heads also add interest well after the blooms are gone. Good drainage is a must for optimal growth.
