What's Looking Good in March

It's Pulmonaria (Lungwort) @nFrost. Great for any dry shady area, and it gives a lovely splash of colour in early spring.

 

It sure does! Thanks Trunky.

 

I can't see the piccy, just a big red cross :(

 

Same here. I've had this problem for a while. Some pics I can see and some I can't. Also some GC members are having problems posting photos. That's been happening for a while too.

 

There are some lovely varieties of Pulmonaria, Sissinghurst White is nice and Ensign Blue too. Many Pulmonarias have interesting spotty or flecked silver foliage too. My Pulmonaria Rubra is the 1st of all my herbaceous to flower. It's been flowering now for about 6 weeks and I live in the hills in Scotland so would imagine it would flower in the South about January! It flowers everywhere I have planted it including in deep shade. Doesn't like it too dry tho so it gets mulched.

 

the Daffodils are beautiful, would still look amazing even without the filter

 

Broccolis do really well his period If you live in a warmer climate and can find a quick growing Broccoli variety you can harvest until it bolts in the hot summer sun!

 

i grow plants for many reasons: to please my, soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow

 

Hi Victor,



Welcome to Gardeners Corner

What do you mean by " without the filter " ? Who do you think is doctoring their photos ? I'm not, all my photos are taken on my phone and then uploaded straight onto here.

 

Just to show Pulmonaria Rubra will grow in deep shade. you can see the tree trunk just behind the plant. The Blue Pulmonaria is Ensign Blue. Only showing the Tulips as they are called The 1st (aptly named) and this is their 2nd year so have done well and all are flowering again unlike so many Tulips that I've planted in the past...get 1 year and then no flowers the next.

 

Hi Silu,
The "Ensign Blue " is stunning, but I still think I prefer the old fashioned ones where you get blue and pink on the same plant. We used to know them as " Jerusalem Cowslips ".

 

@silu ...good to know that the Pulmonaria Rubra will grow in deep shade. Will the blue Pulmonaria grow in shade too? Those tulips are lovely!

 

i am sooo sorry if i sounded rude, the picture is so good i thought it has filters. they look lovely nevertheless .
