Sunlight: Pulmonaria ‘Raspberry Frost’ thrives in partial shade, where its attractive foliage and flowers are protected from intense sunlight.
Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or well-rotted organic matter provides the best growing conditions.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball to allow the roots to spread comfortably.
