Lungwort Raspberry Splash A very long-flowering lungwort cultivar, Pulmonaria Raspberry Splash is a low, spreading, clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial, ideal for spring colour in a shady border. Narrow, pointed, deep green leaves dotted with pale silvery-green spots make a lovely foil for the flowers, and light up the border when the flowers go over. The clusters of five-petalled, bell-shaped flowers are deep raspberry-red, ageing to purple, and are very attractive to pollinators. Lungwort Raspberry Splash is lovely with small blue bulbs in spring, or in a woodland planting.
