Pulmonaria 'Sissinghurst White'

Pulmonaria ‘Sissinghurst White’ is a beautiful shade-loving perennial valued for its elegant white flowers and attractively spotted foliage. A classic woodland plant, it provides early spring colour and long-lasting leaf interest, making it a dependable choice for gardens with partial shade. In a garden centre setting, this variety is highly appealing to customers looking to brighten darker areas of the garden with a plant that is both decorative and easy to care for.

Flowers, Foliage & Seasonal Interest

Pulmonaria ‘Sissinghurst White’ produces clusters of pure white, bell-shaped flowers that appear in early to mid-spring. These blooms rise above a mound of soft green leaves that are often marked with silver spots, giving the plant decorative value even when not in flower.

• Decorative foliage lasting through the season

The flowers are also an important early nectar source for bees and other pollinators emerging after winter.

Growing Conditions & Easy Care

Pulmonaria ‘Sissinghurst White’ thrives in cool, partially shaded areas where many other flowering plants struggle. It prefers fertile, moisture-retentive soil but will tolerate a variety of garden conditions once established. Its resilience and low maintenance needs make it a great recommendation for customers new to shade gardening.

Care and growing advice:

• Plant in partial shade or dappled sunlight

• Prefers moist, well-drained soil

• Water during prolonged dry periods

• Remove tired foliage after flowering to encourage fresh growth

This variety is fully hardy and performs well in Irish garden conditions, making it a reliable choice for long-term planting.
