Pulmonaria ‘Sissinghurst White’

Lungwort is not the most attractive common name for a plant but Pulmonaria ‘Sissinghurst White’ makes up for this with the attractive mottled, felted leaves and dozens of pretty little white flowers that bees love through the summer. Pulmonaria will make good ground cover under trees and shrubs or in a shady corner of the garden and is very suitable for a woodland or cottage garden setting. These features make ‘Sisinghurst White’ a worthy ward winner of RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 30cm (12″). Spread: 45cm (18″).
