lungwort

Lungwort (Pulmonaria longifolia) should be watered regularly to ensure healthy growth. During the summer months, water every 1 to 3 days, depending on the heat and amount of sunlight the plant is receiving. During the winter months, water every 3 to 10 days, depending on the weather. If the soil is very dry or crumbly, increase the frequency of watering. Make sure to water the soil around the plant instead of splashing directly on the foliage. When it is hot and dry, misting the plant can be beneficial. For newly planted plants, water thoroughly and often enough to ensure the soil is wet all the way down to the roots.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria longifolia) thrives best in partial sun, meaning that it should be exposed to a few hours of direct sunlight each day. This plant does best when receiving approximately 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This species of plant should receive indirect sunlight or filtered sunlight for the remaining hours of the day, and should not be exposed to too much direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria longifolia) should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new leaf growth begins. This will help to maintain the shape of the plant, remove old or damaged growth, and promote larger and healthier blooms. Prune by cutting away any dead, diseased, or wilting growth, cutting back the entire plant by up to 1-third, or removing individual stems and branches as needed.
