What you have is Pulmonaria sometimes called Lungwort. Depending on the exact species within this genus, the plants can be perennial in zones 2-8. Most species are perennial in zones 5-8. Just a guess - but I think you have Pulmonaria saccharata which is hardy in zone 4-8. This plant likes shade or partial shade conditions with humus rich, moist but well-drained soil. It is often the first perennial to bloom in late winter or in the spring.
