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":67439891578925,"sku":"fsm1788029666749","price":23.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5586\/7181\/files\/trevi-fountain-lungwort_1.webp?v=1788029670"},{"product_id":"laura-garden-phlox","title":"Laura Garden Phlox","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Classic Purple Garden Phlox With White Eyes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaura Garden Phlox is a tall summer-blooming perennial grown for large clusters of fragrant lavender-purple flowers with bright white eyes. The contrast between the deep flower color and the clean white centers gives this cultivar a crisp, high-impact look in sunny perennial borders, cottage gardens, and cut-flower beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of phlox that feels timeless in the landscape. It brings height, fragrance, pollinator activity, and rich summer color just when the garden needs a fresh lift. Plant it where the flowers can rise above lower perennials and be enjoyed from walkways, patios, porches, and garden seating areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrant Flower Clusters From Mid to Late Summer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaura Garden Phlox blooms in mid to late summer, often continuing into early fall when conditions are favorable. The flowers are held in large, pyramidal clusters at the tops of upright stems, creating a bold vertical accent that works well in the middle or back of a border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrance is one of its best features. Plant Laura near outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the scent, or cut flowering stems for fresh arrangements. The blooms pair beautifully with coneflowers, rudbeckia, bee balm, salvia, asters, ornamental grasses, catmint, yarrow, and other warm-season perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Pollinator-Friendly Perennial for Butterflies and Hummingbirds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaura Garden Phlox is a strong choice for pollinator gardens because the flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. The upright bloom clusters make the plant easy for pollinators to find and easy for gardeners to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it in mixed pollinator plantings, cottage gardens, sunny borders, and wildlife-friendly perennial beds. For the best effect, plant in groups or repeat it throughout the garden so the purple-white flower color creates a rhythmic, moving effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest With Sun, Moisture, and Airflow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaura Garden Phlox performs best in full sun to part sun with moist, rich, well-drained soil. Consistent moisture helps support strong stems, healthy foliage, and better summer flowering. While phlox does not like soggy soil, it also does not tolerate severe drying during hot weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood airflow is especially important. Garden phlox can be prone to powdery mildew, especially in shade, crowded beds, or humid conditions. Laura is often grown for improved garden performance, but it is still best to plant it with adequate spacing, sun, and air circulation to keep the foliage cleaner throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy Seasonal Care for Long-Lasting Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaura Garden Phlox is easy to maintain with a few smart habits. Water during dry spells, mulch lightly to keep the root zone cool, deadhead spent flowers to keep the plant tidy, and divide clumps every few years if they become crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut stems back after frost or in late winter before new growth begins. If your planting is crowded, thinning or dividing helps improve airflow and reduces disease pressure. With the right placement and care, Laura becomes a dependable summer perennial for color, fragrance, and pollinator activity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":67439892103213,"sku":"olg1788029669740","price":19.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5586\/7181\/files\/laura-garden-phlox_1.jpg?v=1788029696"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.hollowtreegoods.shop\/collections\/growzone-4-perennials.oembed","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
