Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash': Lungwort – Silver-Spotted Leaves and Raspberry-Pink Flowers

Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' – Raspberry Splash Lungwort

Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' (PP12138) is an outstanding lungwort cultivar hybridized by Heims and introduced in 1999. It forms a clump of long, lance-shaped leaves heavily spotted and splashed with silver – among the most silvered of all pulmonarias. In early spring, it produces clusters of flowers that open raspberry-pink and mature to a rich purple, providing two colors at once. The flowers are a magnet for early bees.

'Raspberry Splash' thrives in partial to full shade and moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil. It is more heat- and humidity-tolerant than many lungworts. The foliage remains attractive all season if kept moist. It spreads slowly to form a handsome ground cover. A premier selection for the shade garden, combining spectacular foliage and vibrant, long-lasting flowers.
