In spring, petite flowers with varying shades of purple through pink to blue will emerge, adding a sprinkle of color to the foliage. The plant forms low-growing clumps up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall and can spread to roughly 18 inches (45 cm) wide, making it a suitable groundcover. The leaves are typically hairy and their rough texture is characteristic of common lungwort.
