Before planting I work the soil to a depth of eight to twelve inches, adding large amounts of organic matter. Lungworts enjoy extra moisture without standing in water, so mulch well between plants, avoiding the crown, to retain that cool drink during our hot dry spells. To head off potential problems with mildew, give lungworts a position in the garden where they will not only be well-drained, but also where they receive good air circulation. To my amazement the foliage of lungworts does not seem to be of interest to deer. Slugs and snails do not seem to take much interest in the leaves, either.
Hummingbirds certainly do enjoy the trumpet-shaped blooms.
I now have quite a few named lungworts, each in multiples of three, growing in my garden. Mrs. Moon', 'Sissinghurst White', 'Bertram Anderson', and 'Roy Davidson', were the first lungworts in the garden. Then came 'Johnson's Blue', 'Excaliber', and 'Cevennensis'. All are performing well in my garden. While lungwort have long been around in gardens, they fell from favor for some years, but are very much making a comeback in today's gardens.
