Raspberry Splash Lungwort

Pulmonaria longifolia 'Raspberry Splash'

An attractive, shade-loving groundcover that is very useful under shrubs and along pathways. A profusion of raspberry-coral blooms held on arching sprays appears above the lush silver-spotted foliage throughout spring. Works well to create a lush underplanting to hostas and ferns.
