Lungwort (Pulmonaria)

Lungwort (Pulmonaria) is kept because of its early flowering in spring but also because of its foliage colour and markings. The flowers of most varieties change colour, from pink to violet blue. There are also varieties with white, red or blue flowers. Lungworts foliage can be plain green, speckled ore totally grey. Lungwort will grow in any fertile soil as long as moist enough without getting too wet. Plant Lungwort in the half shade as they do not like direct sun light. After flowering Lungwort can suffer from mildew, which can be caused because the soil is too dry. Cut the plant back quite drastically, add some fertilizer and water well. The plants will soon form fresh foliage again. Good neighbour plants for Lungwort are Hellebore (Helleborus), Hosta (Hosta), Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum) and Bleeding Heart (Dicentra).
