Shrimps On The Barbie Pulmonaria (Bethlehem Sage) – 1 Gallon Pot

A WOW plant in the shade garden, ‘Shrimps On The Barbie’ Pulmonaria, commonly called Bethlehem sage or Jerusalem sage, is a large and spreading super-hardy perennial that impresses with both flowers and foliage. In early to mid spring, amazingly abundant clusters of bell-shaped, dark shrimp-pink flowers contrast beautifully with the 10 inch high by 24 inch wide mound of bicolor green leaves marked with prominent white spots. We’d still rave about this plant even if it produced no flowers at all! Consistently moist but well-drained soil and part to full shade ensure the best performance. Morning and evening sun are okay but avoid direct afternoon sun. A strong performer that stands up to the heat (Zone 9) and cold (-30F).

Growing 8 to 10 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, Shrimps On The Barbie Pulmonaria is ideal for use as an accent in shady small garden spaces or in groupings as as a border in garden beds or along paths and walkways. Also excellent as a solo or combined with other plants in containers. A fine addition to shady woodland gardens, hummingbird gardens, cottage gardens, and perennial shade gardens.
