Years ago I had a fit of passion for pulmonaria--one of those gardening obsessions where the chosen plant is all you can think about. I planted many different kinds, and enjoyed them tremendously. Then we had a terrible drought two years running, with watering restrictions, and some of them went by the wayside. I still have good old "Mrs. Moon" and one or two others, and they are enormously cheering this time of year.
In a "normal" year they don't need special watering or a lot of care. Some summers the leaves suffer from mildew, which bothers me more than it seems to bother the plant. If I get to it, I cut them back, and they respond with fresh new foliage.
Not a showy plant, but a satisfying one. Everyone should have a few pulmonarias.
Cheers, Sue
