{"product_id":"trevi-fountain-lungwort","title":"Trevi Fountain Lungwort","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCobalt-Blue Spring Flowers for the Shade Garden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrevi Fountain Lungwort is a beautiful, shade-tolerant perennial grown for its intense cobalt-blue spring flowers and bright silver-spotted foliage. The flower clusters rise just above the leaves in early to mid-spring, adding welcome color when many shade gardens are still waking up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a strong choice for homeowners who want early-season flowers in woodland gardens, shaded borders, under-tree plantings, and hosta beds. The blue blooms are cheerful without being loud, and they pair beautifully with hellebores, brunnera, ferns, foamflower, coral bells, woodland phlox, and early spring bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSilver-Spotted Leaves That Keep Working After BloomThe \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrevi Fountain does not disappear after flowering. Its slender green leaves are heavily marked with silver spots, giving the plant season-long foliage value in lower-light spaces. That silver pattern helps brighten dark beds and adds contrast against deeper green shade plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foliage is one of the biggest reasons to plant Lungwort. Use the Trevi Fountain near hostas, ferns, astilbe, heuchera, hellebores, carex, and Japanese forest grass, where its spotted leaves can break up solid green foliage and make the whole bed feel more layered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Compact Groundcover-Style Perennial\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrevi Fountain Lungwort stays low and compact, commonly growing about 11 to 12 inches tall and spreading about 24 to 25 inches wide. Its mounding habit makes it useful as a small-scale groundcover, front-of-border plant, shaded path edging, or filler under high-branching shrubs and small trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it in small groups or masses for the strongest effect. A single plant adds a pretty accent, but several plants together create a cool silver-green carpet with blue spring bloom. It is especially useful in areas where hostas feel too large or where you want a lower foliage texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, and Pollinator Friendly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrevi Fountain Lungwort is a practical shade perennial because it is generally resistant to deer and rabbits. That makes it especially useful in woodland-style gardens where browsing can make it difficult to grow more tender foliage plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early flowers are also valuable for pollinators. Bees and hummingbirds may visit the blooms during a season when nectar sources can still be limited. For a more complete pollinator planting, combine the Trevi Fountain with hellebores, foamflower, woodland phlox, Virginia bluebells, columbine, and other early shade bloomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest in Cool Shade and Moist, Well-Drained Soil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrevi Fountain Lungwort grows best in part shade to shade with organically rich, moist, well-drained soil. It appreciates cool roots and even moisture, especially during summer. Dry soil, hot afternoon sun, or reflected heat can cause foliage to wilt, scorch, or decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood placement makes this plant easy. Give it bright shade, morning sun, or dappled woodland light, and avoid harsh afternoon exposure in hot climates. After spring bloom, a light trim of spent flower stems can freshen the plant and encourage a clean flush of foliage for the rest of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":44621764460586,"sku":"24575","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1030\/0480\/files\/trevi-fountain-lungwort-1252512731.webp?v=1785687292","url":"https:\/\/gardengoodsdirect.com\/products\/trevi-fountain-lungwort","provider":"Garden Goods Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
