Default "Evergreen" Pulmonaria not truly evergreen in warm latitudes?

This page
http://hardyplants.com/Pulmonar.htm [Apple Valley MN]
says following are evergreen, but how evergreen? Do the leaves look ugly for
a couple months (in October?)

P. rubra "Red Lungwort" [snip]Plants form scattered clumps with some what
evergreen unspotted leaves.[snip]
VAR. Albocorollata syn. Alba = has white flowers[snip]

P. saccharata "Bethlehem Sage" The most commonly grown lungwort with more or
less evergreen leaves[snip]
'Mrs. Moon' = large leaves and pink buds and flowers turning to blue.
'Janet Fisk' = has large very nicely spotted leaves and lavender pink
flowers.
'Sissinghurst White' = has white flowers[snip]


and do some Pulmonaria not require dividing?

TIA.
