Pulmonaria Shrimps on the Barbie (Lungwort)

Pulmonaria 'Shrimps on the Barbie' (Lungwort) is a clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with profuse clusters of large, deep shrimp pink flowers in spring. The foliage of brightly silver-spotted, long leaves is equally eye-catching and remains attractive throughout the entire growing season if cut back after blooming. Resistant to powdery mildew, this pretty Lungwort is evergreen in mild winter areas and is an excellent choice for shady gardens.
