As part of the Gardeners’ World video guide to creating a wildlife garden, Monty Don shows you how to plant pulmonaria. This shade-loving perennial is a magnet for bees and other pollinating insects early in the year, as it flowers from February right through to late May. Plant some in your own garden in late summer and you’ll be rewarded with pretty flowers and visiting bees in spring.
