Product description
Pulmonaria 'Trevi Fountain', commonly known as lungwort, is a striking shade-loving perennial plant. It is well-known for its unique foliage-green leaves adorned with silver spots-that make it a great choice for ground cover. In mid to late spring, this plant produces eye-catching clusters of blue, bell-shaped flowers, adding a pop of colour to shady areas. Ideal for wildlife gardens, it also attracts bees and other pollinators, making it a perfect choice for those looking to enhance biodiversity in their gardens.
This plant grows to a moderate size, reaching up to 40 cm in height and 60 cm in spread. It prefers moist but well-drained, humus-rich soils and thrives in shaded spots. Pulmonaria is fairly low maintenance, requiring only the removal of old leaves after flowering and occasional division to prevent overcrowding. With its long-lasting foliage, this plant offers an extended season of interest beyond its spring flowers.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Mulch around Pulmonaria plants with organic material to retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds while maintaining healthy growth.
How to Water
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply during dry spells, particularly in the summer, but allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Pulmonaria in moist, well-drained soil in partial to full shade. Enrich the soil with organic matter like compost. Space plants 30-45cm apart to allow for growth. Position the crown at soil level, backfill, firm gently, and water thoroughly after planting.
