Cultivation
Pulmonaria 'Diane Clare' grows best in a shady or partially shady spot. It is suited to a woodland garden where it can enjoy the rotting leaves. Humus rich soil will see it growing at its best, so a good mulch of leaf mould early winter would be ideal.
It prefers moist but well drained soil, not sitting too wet.
There is not a lot of maintenance, just a tidy up of old flower stems and dead leaves
