Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' PP#12,138
Easy enough for a first-time gardener, yet so showy!
The flowers arise in giant, hanging clusters, bell-shaped and colored a rich shade of raspberry-pink. They bloom for several weeks in late spring, filling the shade garden with startling color.
But even when the blooms pass, 'Raspberry Splash' is colorful and bright. The foliage is quite large and fuzzy, a dark green speckled with white like drops of paint. It stays fresh and pretty from spring through fall in any moist, well-drained soil. And this plant tolerates even full shade!
Many Bethlehem Sages have problems with slugs eating their leaves and powdery mildew infections, but 'Raspberry Splash' is highly resistant to both. This makes it easy enough for even a new gardener to be successful with, and an absolutely carefree choice for any shady spot!
'Raspberry Splash' was bred from Pulmonaria longifolia 'Bertram Anderson' x Pulmonaria 'Leopard.' Introduced in 2001, it has become an instant classic! It reaches 12 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Cut it back after the blooms pass for fuller, more dense foliage the rest of the season. Don't miss out on this fine source of color for the shade garden. Zones 4-9.
