watering
Lungwort should be watered approximately once every 1-2 weeks, depending on the potting medium and the temperature. If planted outside in a partially shady area, lungwort will need extra water in hot summer months. It is best to water early in the day so the leaves have time to dry before nightfall. When watering, make sure you provide enough water that the soil is thoroughly saturated. Let the top inch of soil become dry before watering again. Overwatering can cause root and stem rot.
sunlight
Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Silver Streamers') is an evergreen perennial that loves to be planted in shade gardens, borders, and rock gardens. This plant species requires partial shade to full shade to perform its best. In terms of sunlight, this plant grows best when it receives 3-4 hours of direct sunlight each day during the spring and summer months, and a few hours of indirect sunlight during the winter months.

To encourage vigorous, healthy growth and flowering reduce the flowering stems by about a third, cutting back to the base of the stems. Deadhead regularly to help prolong flowering. If the entire plant becomes too unruly cut back severely to rejuvenate it in early spring.
