How Big Does Lungwort Get

Most species and varieties grow nine to 18 inches tall. Plants may eventually spread two to three feet wide. Lungworts can be used as specimen plants in perennial beds and borders or as a groundcover.

Do lungwort plants spread?

Lungwort plants grow in clumps and reach a height of about 12 inches (30.5 cm.). In proper conditions they can spread rapidly and can be divided in early spring or fall. When dividing lungworts, don’t panic if the plants wilt soon after division. Simply replant them and provide water and they will perk up quickly.

Can lungwort tolerate sun?

Lungwort is typically grown in partial sun to full shade. But it can tolerate quite a bit of bright light in the early spring, which is helpful because not as many trees have leafed out at that point to diffuse sunlight hitting the lungwort.
