Pulmonaria Berries and Cream
Berries and Cream Lungwort
Berries and Cream Lungwort brightens a shaded planting with broad areas of silver on its leaves. Green mottling remains around the lightly ruffled margins, making the foliage interesting well beyond the flowering season.
Spring flowers begin raspberry pink and become purple as they age. The changing colors sit above a low clump of patterned leaves, creating a close-up display that suits the edge of a woodland border.
Provide partial or full shade and keep the soil cool and moist. A group beneath open-branched shrubs can make the leaf pattern easier to appreciate, while individual plants can fill small spaces among other shade perennials.
