Pulmonaria × 'Spot On' (lungwort) is a compact, shade-friendly perennial prized for early spring color and handsome, silver-speckled foliage. You will enjoy clusters of buds that open pink and mature to rich blue, giving a multi-tone look as the bloom season progresses. Even after flowering, the mounded leaves keep the planting looking fresh and provide bright contrast in darker garden corners.
Plant it where you can appreciate the foliage up close: along shaded paths, in woodland borders, or in containers placed in filtered light. This cultivar typically grows 14-16 inches tall and spreads to roughly 18-20 inches, forming a neat mound that is easy to tuck between larger shade perennials. It is well suited to part shade through full shade, especially in sites with morning light and afternoon protection.
Give it humus-rich soil that holds moisture yet drains well. Water consistently during establishment and during dry spells, and mulch lightly to keep the root zone cool. If leaves look tired after bloom, you can shear them back to encourage a flush of clean new growth. Divide clumps in early fall or after flowering when they become crowded.
Use Pulmonaria × 'Spot On' to weave early-season interest through shade plantings. Pair it with spring bulbs, ferns, brunnera, hellebores, and hostas for a long-lasting tapestry of texture and color.
