Pulmonaria officinalis Sissinhurst White

Sissinhurst White Lungwort

Sissinghurst White Lungwort lights up a shaded border with clean white flowers opening from pink buds. The bloom display sits above a clump of oval leaves heavily marked with white spots.

The spotted foliage keeps the planting interesting after flowering. Its low height makes it useful beside a path or among other woodland perennials where leaf patterns can be enjoyed closely.

Grow in partial to full shade in fertile, evenly moist soil with good drainage.
