lungwort

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash') should be watered thoroughly but not too often. Water deeply 2 to 3 times per week, allowing the soil to completely dry out before watering again. To check if it needs watering, poke your finger into the soil. If it feels dry 1 inch below the surface, it's time to water. During the heat of summer, you may need to water more frequently. Furthermore, the soil should remain evenly moist, but not waterlogged or soggy.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash') does best when grown in a location that receives partial shade or morning sun and afternoon shade. It prefers soil that is moist and well-draining. This plant species prefers at least 4 hours of sun per day; however, direct sunlight should be avoided. If the plant receives too much sun, the leaves can scorch and the flowers may fade. For optimal growth and flowering, place the Pulmonaria in an area that gets a few hours of morning sun but is shaded during the afternoon.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Raspberry Splash') should be pruned in late spring or early summer after it finishes flowering. This ensures that the late emerging flowers and foliage are not prematurely removed. First, remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches, then cut back any branches that have overgrown by approximately 1-third of their length. This will encourage more abundant flowering and ensure a neat, tidy look. Finally, remove any shoots or branches that are growing too close to 1 another. This will provide good air circulation and prevent overcrowding.
