Description

Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' is a delightful perennial that brings a soft blush of colour to the garden with its charming, pure pink flowers. Blooming in early spring, the clusters of delicate pink blooms emerge above its attractive foliage, which is mottled with silver spots, adding a decorative touch even when not in flower. The combination of pretty flowers and striking foliage makes Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' a valuable plant for both its beauty and structure.

Shade-loving Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It’s ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, or as ground cover under trees and shrubs. 

Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' pairs beautifully with other early spring-flowering plants. Combine it with shade-loving companions like hellebores, primulas, and epimediums for a woodland feel. Its silver-spotted leaves also provide lovely contrast when planted alongside ferns, hostas, or Heuchera, creating a textured, layered look. It works particularly well in naturalistic planting schemes where its soft tones and elegant form can shine.

Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' is highly attractive to bees and other early pollinators, providing an important nectar source when food is scarce. This low-maintenance plant is also resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. Over time, it will naturalise to form a dense, weed-suppressing ground cover that brings year-round interest with its stunning foliage and early flowers. Hardy and reliable, it will return every spring, stronger and more floriferous each year.

This compact perennial is also well-suited to growing in containers. Use a pot with good drainage and place it in a shaded spot, such as a patio or balcony, to enjoy its delicate blooms up close. Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' adds colour and texture to shaded areas, making it an ideal choice for brightening corners where other plants might struggle.

Pulmonaria 'Pierre’s Pure Pink' is a lovely, versatile addition to any garden, bringing early-season colour and long-lasting foliage interest. Its shade tolerance, pollinator-friendly flowers, and naturalising ability make it a must-have for shady borders and containers alike.

Lungwort is used in cough medicines, to reduce fluid retention, and to help treat lung conditions like tuberculosis. It has long been valued in traditional herbal medicine for respiratory health.

Useful information

    • Soak your Pulmonaria 'Pierre's Pure Pink' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.

    • Plant your "Lungwort" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
