Upright stems of ruby-red to coral flowers appear in early spring, blooming just above the emerging foliage when most shade plants are still waking up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the flowers finish, the real show begins. The broad, lance-shaped leaves are heavily splotched and veiled in silver over a deep green base, with distinctive cream-white margins that add an extra layer of contrast. This foliage stays clean and ornamental from spring through fall, and in milder winters the leaves persist as semi-evergreen, providing interest even in the off-season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePulmonaria ‘Raspberry Frost’ is a low-maintenance, clump-forming perennial that spreads slowly by creeping roots to form an attractive groundcover. It is deer and rabbit resistant and virtually free of pest and disease problems when grown in the cool, moist, shaded conditions it prefers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePulmonaria ‘Raspberry Frost’ Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in partial to full shade. Morning sun is tolerated in cooler climates, but afternoon shade is essential to prevent leaf scorch. Pulmonaria prefers humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Consistent moisture is important — dry soils and summer heat can cause the foliage to decline or go dormant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during hot, dry periods. A layer of organic mulch helps keep roots cool and soil moist. Fertilize lightly in spring with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/almanacplanting.com\/products\/slow-release-fertilizer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eslow release fertilizer\u003c\/a\u003e if desired. Cut back spent flower stems after blooming to encourage fresh, clean foliage growth. Divide clumps every few years in early fall if they become crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Size is the Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Frost’ for Sale Online?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Frost’ ships in a greenhouse-grade grow pot and is appropriately sized for its container at the time of shipment.
