lungwort

Watering for a Pulmonaria 'Victorian Brooch' plant should be done regularly to ensure that the soil stays consistently moist. During its growing season (early spring through mid-summer), the plant should be watered on a weekly basis. Water deeply but not overly, as the plant can rot in overly wet soil. During the summer, water only as needed; the top 2 inches (5cm) of soil should be kept slightly damp. In the fall and winter, water only as needed, which is usually once every couple of weeks. During periods of extreme heat, frequent shallow watering may be necessary. Mulching in the spring and fall will help keep soil temperatures and moisture levels more consistent.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Victorian Brooch') requires bright, filtered light in order to grow and thrive, but not direct sunlight. It can tolerate some periods of direct sunlight during the day, but most of its daylight hours should be partially shaded. Morning sun is preferable to afternoon sun. Avoid placing this plant in an extremely dark area however, as it still needs some light in order to survive. When caring for a lungwort, try to keep it between 4 and 6 hours of usable light each day.

Lungwort (Pulmonaria 'Victorian Brooch') requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. It can be pruned in late winter or early spring, just as the new leaves are starting to appear. Start by pruning out any dead or diseased growth, removing it to the ground. Then prune the stems as needed to reduce overcrowding and maintain a neat shape and desired height. Remove any stems that are growing too far away from the base of the plant. Finally, trim away any wayward branches or foliage that may be disrupting the shape of the plant.
