Description
Salmon-pink buds open into rich blue flowers above silver-speckled green foliage, making Pulmonaria Spot On an early-season feature for shaded borders. Its compact mound reaches about 1 foot tall and can spread to about 2.5 feet wide as creeping rhizomes form a patch.
Plant it in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained, organic soil. It fits flowering borders, woodland gardens, containers, and ground-cover plantings, and the flowers attract bees and hummingbirds.
Keep the soil evenly moist through dry spells. The patterned foliage remains distinctive after flowering, while deer and rabbit resistance helps the plant hold its place in mixed shade plantings.
