Pulmonaria officinalis aka Lungwort

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Lungwort is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Lungwort should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Lungwort is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Jerusalem Cowslip is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Jerusalem Cowslip with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Lungwort with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

During the cold period, it is common for Lungwort to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

The Lungwort grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.

The Lungwort is characterized by clumping growth, with new shoots emerging from the soil around the primary plant.

Lungwort’s native range is Europe. Naturalized in Britain.
