Pulmonaria Sissinghurst White

• Position: full or partial shade
• Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: March to April
• Flower colour: white
• Other features: white-spotted leaves
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Delicate, pure-white, funnel-shaped flowers in early spring and white-spotted, bright-green leaves. This dainty pulmonaria is perfect for shady areas. One of the first to flower, it looks lovely alongside dwarf narcissus. Best in a soil that remains moist over summer, since mildew can take hold if the roots dry out.
  
  
• Garden care: Lift and divide large clumps every three to five years after flowering or in autumn. Cut back plants affected by mildew to the ground, water and feed - the plant will regenerate and produce new leaves later in the year.
