Early April is when this little powerhouse blooms, and it soon establishes a lovely groundcover. Just above the silver polka-dotted foliage, deep shrimp-pink flowers are arranged in clusters. Stunning strolling down a lane that is shaded. Pulmonaria has lovely flowers, but it is particularly renowned for its exquisitely patterned leaves. The foliage looks good all year long. A stunning spectacle will be created by the mounding habit. Although Pulmonaria Shrimps on the Barbie may endure morning sun, they require shade in the afternoon to prevent leaf scorching.
