Pulmonaria 'Mrs. Moon' is a classic lungwort with deep green leaves adorned with well-separated silver spots. In mid-spring, nodding clusters of magenta-pink buds open into pink bell-shaped flowers that mature to bright blue, often displaying both colors at once. Thriving in part shade to full shade, it prefers rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. This low-growing perennial is ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, and ground cover plantings.
Planting: Plant in spring or fall, setting the crown just at soil level. Choose a shaded or partially shaded site—ideal under deciduous trees or along woodland edges.
Spacing: Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.
Light: Prefers partial to full shade. Too much sun can scorch the leaves, especially in warmer zones.
Soil: Moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Tolerates cold well but may suffer in hot, humid climates without adequate shade and airflow.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid overfeeding, which can reduce flowering.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and any tattered leaves after blooming to encourage fresh foliage.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in early spring or fall to rejuvenate growth and maintain vigor.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent powdery mildew.
