Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash'
by Hazel Bost
Gardener
Compact and showy, Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Splash’ is a hardy addition to shade gardens. This early spring bloomer brightens areas of deep shade with clusters of bright purple and pink flowers and mottled silver foliage. Pulmonaria is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and is resistant to deer, rabbits, and heavy rainfall. Pollinators like hummingbirds and honeybees patronize the flower clusters.
Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Splash’ can be viewed in our cut flower garden. Follow the red brick path to the right of the visitor’s center and through the kitchen garden to find several specimens flanking the back gate.
