Pulmonaria rubra produces brilliant coral-red to brick-red flowers very early in spring, bringing unusual colour to shaded borders. Fresh green foliage forms dense clumps that remain attractive until autumn. This hardy perennial is ideal for woodland edges, forest gardens, and partially shaded plantings, where it is eagerly visited by early pollinating insects.
Watering and Care
Pulmonaria rubra prefers consistently moist soil. Water regularly during dry periods, especially after planting. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which may damage the roots.
Maintenance
Remove faded flowers and damaged foliage to keep the plant healthy. Old leaves can be cut back after flowering. Applying compost in spring will encourage vigorous growth.
Location
This lungwort thrives in partial to full shade. It prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil and is ideal for woodland gardens and shaded borders.
