lungwort

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Baby Blue') should be watered regularly, but lightly. When the soil begins to dry out, it is a good idea to give the lungwort a thorough watering. During the late spring and summer months, water the plant once or twice every week. However, if rain is frequent in your area, the amount of extra watering that will be needed can be reduced or even eliminated. During the winter months, water more occasionally, but be sure not to let the soil dry out completely. During the hottest parts of the year, providing the lungwort with extra humidity can help keep it happy and healthy.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Baby Blue') is a shade-loving perennial flower that prefers almost full or partial shade (3-6 hours of daily sunlight). It can also tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun in areas with more moderate temperatures, such as the Pacific Northwest. The Lungwort should not be placed in direct afternoon sunlight since this can cause leaf burn. If possible, choose a location with dappled sunlight or 1 that is partially shaded, as this will provide the best results.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Baby Blue') should be pruned once in the late winter or early spring when new growth is visible. Pruning can be done to shape the plant or reduce its size, and to remove dead, damaged, diseased or infected foliage. Cut stems back to the base, leaving a few inches of growth to encourage new, healthy growth. Lungwort can also be lightly sheared to promote tidiness, if desired. Avoid pruning when it’s cold outside, as this can damage the plant. Pruning old leaves may also invite powdery mildew in humid and warm weather, so if this is a concern wait until dry days to prune, or prune lightly and only when absolutely necessary.
