Common Lungwort is an Herbaceous Perennial Plant that Grows to around  6-12 inches Tall.
 
 
The  Leaves of the Lungwort Plant are very  Distinctive with their Colouring, Pattern and Hairy Leaves, they  have Striking White Spots that have given the Herb Several Names in Ancient Times. The Meaning of the White Spots is Controversial among Botanists. It is Believed that the White Spots allow the Plant to have a Controlled Transpiration which is the Process of Water Moving from the Soil into the Plant Roots, up through the Sapweed into the Leaves.  The Water then Warmed by the Sun Evaporates and Passes through Thousands of Tiny Pores Mostly from the Underside of the Leaf.
 
 
Lungwort is an  Early Bloomer, with the Plant  Flowering Pink,  Blue, White or Violet Flowers that turn Blue between March and May.
