How to grow Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' in NZ

Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' grows best in partial shade or full shade with moist well drained soil rich in organic matter. Choose a sheltered planting position protected from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds to maintain healthy foliage. Water regularly during establishment and through dry periods to keep the soil evenly moist. Applying mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and improve soil quality. This hardy perennial performs well in cooler parts of New Zealand and benefits from regular organic matter in the soil to encourage lush growth and flowering.

Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' care tips

Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash' is relatively easy to care for once established and requires minimal maintenance. Water during prolonged dry periods to prevent the soil from drying out completely, especially during warmer weather. Mulching around the root zone helps retain moisture and maintain cool soil conditions. Remove old or damaged leaves after flowering to encourage fresh healthy growth and keep the plant tidy. Feeding with compost or a balanced fertiliser during spring may improve flowering and foliage vigour. This perennial is generally resistant to pests and performs reliably in shaded garden areas.
