watering

Water your Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Mountain Magic' GAELIC MAGIC) consistently and evenly throughout the growing season. During periods of hot weather, it may need to be watered more frequently. Also water deeply to ensure the roots receive sufficient moisture and nutrients. Aim to keep the soil around the plant evenly damp but never saturated. If your Lungwort is planted in a container, monitor the moisture levels more closely to ensure the plant does not become too dry. In general, watering about twice a week during hot spells should provide the best results.

sunlight

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Mountain Magic' GAELIC MAGIC) is best grown in full sun to part shade. This species of plant prefers about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, in hot climates it may benefit from some afternoon shade to protect it from the intense sun. During the winter months, the plant should be kept in a cooler environment with lower light intensity. If the light is too bright during the winter, the plant may become stressed and potentially scorched.

pruning

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Mountain Magic' GAELIC MAGIC) should be pruned once a year in early spring, just before the start of the growing season. Pruning should be done by removing the old, woody stems to encourage new and more vigorous stems. It is best to cut back the stems to 2”-3” (5-7 cm) above the soil line. Removing any flowering stems that have been damaged by winter weather is also recommended. With proper pruning, you can promote more vibrant blooming and healthier growth.
