Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' PP12138 (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Lungwort, Bethlehem Sage.
Zone 3 to 8 (9).
Part shade to full shade.
Mature height is 10 to 12 inches, 18 to 24 inches spread. Clump-forming herbaceous perennial spreads slowly by creeping roots.
Clusters of bright raspberry-pink, funnel-shaped flower on short stalks appear just above dark green, silver-spotted, lance-shaped leaves in late spring. 'Raspberry Splash' PP12138 has a fairly upright growing habit and profuse flowering abilities. This hybrid is a cross between 'Bertram Anderson' and 'Barfield Pink'.
Pulmonarias are easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil, but prefer cool soils that are highly organic and moisture retentive. While dry conditions can lead to powdery mildew and leaf scorch, Lungwort is intolerant of wet, poorly drained soils. Prune to ground level for a fresh foliage growth. Best time to divide clumps is in the fall.
Attributes: Border plants, Container, Cut flower, Edging, Mass Planting. Attracts hummingbirds. Deer and rabbit resistant. |
