Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant young plants in humus-rich, fertile, moist but not waterlogged soil in dapled sunlight or partial shade. Provide them with a sheltered position but not in full shade. Site them in the front of borders, or use as ground cover, and in the right conditions they look great in a woodland border.
Flowering Season
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
Pulmonaria flower very early in the year, late winter and early spring and are attractive to bees providing much needed early nectar.
