Pulmonaria prefer light to medium shade, with dappled or morning sun, so under deciduous trees is ideal, but they will generally adapt to full sun in cooler regions as long as consistent moisture is provided. Ideally they should be planted in moist, well drained, enriched soil, but they can adapt to slightly dry and average soil.

Perfect for semi shady spots, used as an underplanting or groundcover it is an excellent choice for the front of a shady border. They are beautiful when combined with other shade lovers such as wild Primroses and Hosta. They can be grown under large clumps of plants such as Day lilies and Peonies and look outstanding in large drifts mixed with ferns and Astilbe.

Pulmonaria seeds need a period of cold to enable them to germinate. In autumn sow the seeds on the surface of seed compost, cover with grit and keep in a shaded cold-frame or cool glasshouse. Sow seed 2.5cm (1in) apart in trays or cells containing seed compost. Sow the seeds on the surface of the compost, and place in a light position at a regular temperature of around 16°C (60°F) Germination should take place between 30 and 60 days
