Trevi Fountain Lungwort
Pulmonaria × hybrida 'Trevi Fountain'Trevi Fountain Lungwort is a vigorous shade-loving perennial prized for its brilliant pink to purple flowers and heavily silver-speckled foliage. Blooming in early spring, it produces abundant clusters of vivid flowers that rise above broad clumps of fuzzy green leaves generously splashed with silver. The eye-catching blooms provide one of the earliest displays of color in the garden, while the attractive foliage continues to brighten shaded landscapes throughout the growing season.
Its dense, clump-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and beneath trees and shrubs. The striking foliage remains ornamental long after flowering, adding texture and contrast to hostas, ferns, and other shade-loving perennials.
