Groundcovers are some of the hardest working plants in the garden. Not only should they have good looking foliage and flowers and sustain pollinators, groundcovers earn their place in the garden by helping to smother out weeds. Mrs. Moon Lungwort is an old fashioned favorite that ticks all of those boxes. Mrs. Moon has lightly spotted leaves and delicate pink flowers that bloom from spring into early summer.
Lungwort also makes a great edging plant for the shadiest of gardens and will grow well as a groundcover, even under Black Walnut trees. Not only is Mrs. Moon Lungwort deer and rabbit resistant, slugs completely leave its rough leaves alone. Companion plants for Lungwort are Hostas, Astilbe, Sweet Woodruff and Hellebores. The spotted leaves stay looking good throughout the summer, even after the plant has finished blooming.
Mrs. Moon Lungwort Care
Lungwort likes to have a very shady spot, but will tolerate sun early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Moist well, drained soil is important as is using drip irrigation or soaker hoses for supplemental irrigation. Mrs. Moon Lungwort dislikes overhead watering that would make the leaves wet. Powdery Mildew can be an issue late in the summer as the nights get colder and the soils stay wet.
Cutting back herbaceous perennials is best done in the early spring as the new growth emerges. Growth from the previous year provides mulch and insulation from the cold winter in the lowest of the hardiness zones. Fertilizing with a well balanced, slow release food in the spring will help to support good blooming and leaf production. Dividing Lungwort in the early fall will give new transplants time to establish roots before the winter. Make sure to mulch the new plants well.
Mrs. Moon Lungwort Spacing
Mrs. Moon Lungwort is a medium sized perennial. The mature height is 9-18 inches before blooming, with a spread of 18-24 inches. Spacing the plants at 20 inches on center is recommended.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
