Pulmonaria 'Silver Bouquet' (PBR)
lungwort Silver Bouquet
This attractive, early-flowering perennial will help liven up the woodland floor in spring. It forms a good-sized clump of slender, pointed leaves, which are generously daubed in silver. The flaring bell-shaped flowers of Pulmonaria 'Silver Bouquet' form in clusters, and are held above the foliage on upright stems, opening pink, but turning blue as they age. This, coupled with the silvery foliage, which may be retained during milder winters and shows some resistance to powdery mildew, creates a very colourful effect.
How to care for Pulmonaria Silver Bouquet (PBR):
Plant Pulmonaria in moist, humus-rich soil in partial to full shade, setting the rootball level with the soil surface and watering well to settle it in. Keep the soil consistently damp through the growing season, especially in dry spells, and add a mulch of compost in spring to help the plant hold moisture and stay vigorous.
After flowering, tidy the plant by removing tired leaves to encourage a flush of fresh growth, and lift and divide congested clumps every three to five years to keep them healthy. If mildew appears, cut affected foliage right back to the base, then water and feed; new leaves will grow cleanly later in the season.
