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.

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.
