Description
Pulmonaria 'Trevi Fountain'
Height x Spread: 30cm x 50cm
'Trevi Fountain' puts on long displays of cobalt-blue bell-shaped flowers throughout spring. Carpets of silver spotted, dark green foliage form an attractive mound beneath the blooms.
A superb ground cover perennial which can be used to cover banks and slopes, it is also a lovely edging plant, and is often used in woodland areas as it thrives in dappled shade. Pulmonarias prefer a humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil. Shearing the leaves back after flowering will encourage a fresh burst of leaf growth.
