Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Frost’
A rare and beautiful sport of the very popular 'Raspberry Splash'. As easy to grow as the original, 'Raspberry Frost' is enhanced by a cream-silver margin and a heavily veiled leaf surface for added interest. The bright coral-red flowers are showy in early spring and when finished are covered by newly emerging foliage for a very clean look. A fresh look for this popular plant.
