About this plant

Pulmonaria 'Trevi Fountain', commonly known as 'Trevi Fountain' Lungwort, is a distinctive perennial prized for its ornamental foliage and vibrant blue flowers, making it an excellent choice for shady garden areas. Its dark green leaves with prominent silver spots create a dappled effect that brightens shaded areas, forming a dense clump and serving as an excellent ground cover. In early to mid-spring, 'Trevi Fountain' produces clusters of tubular, deep blue flowers that contrast strikingly against the silver-spotted foliage and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Thriving in partial to full shade, this plant is perfect for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and as a ground cover, pairing well with other shade-loving plants such as hostas, ferns, and astilbes.

Design tip

Spring bloom is its headline moment, and it reads best in a group rather than as a single plant. Keep it out of hot afternoon sun and layer it with woodland companions for a full, settled look.
