watering

Water your lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Coral Springs') deeply and regularly. Water once or twice a week, around 1/2 to 1 inch each time. Make sure the soil is evenly moist, but not soggy, and let it dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid splashing excess water on the leaves, as they do not tolerate wet leaves. If the plant shows signs of wilting, increase watering as needed. With consistent watering, the lungwort should thrive.

sunlight

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Coral Springs') thrives best in moderate levels of sunlight. For optimal growth and development, this plant species should be grown in an area that receives bright direct sunlight for 3 to 4 hours in the morning or late afternoon, with a few more hours of dappled or indirect sunlight during the day. Prolonged exposure to full sunlight during the day should be avoided, as this may lead to wilting and loss of foliage. When growing Lungwort indoors, 6 to 8 hours of bright indirect sunlight each day should be provided. It is also important to choose a spot for growth that is sheltered from strong winds.

pruning

Pruning for Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Coral Springs') can be done in early spring once the plant has finished flowering. Cut back all of the stems around 2 thirds of the way down to create a bushier shape. Remove any dead, dying, or damaged foliage along with any weak stems. It is important to prune the Lungwort after it has finished flowering, otherwise deadheading will reduce its flowering. Prune the Lungwort again in late summer to maintain its bushy shape and reduce its overall size.
