| I live in TN where summers are hot & humid. I would love to try Lungwort in a shade bed. Anyone had any luck with it in Zone 7?

| I live in West TN. Pulmonaria 'Diana Clare' grows well here in afternoon shade. I bought it at Randolph's in Jackson. There is also an article about these on Plant Delight's site talking about their heat tolerance. Link provided below. |

| Thanks for the reply. I am wanting to add some shade plants to a bed that I started last spring. I love the spotted foliage on the Lungwort and wanted to give it a try. What other shade plants do well for you? Where do you live in West TN? I live in Lexington. I will definitely have to check out Randolph's. Never been there. Usually buy from a couple of local nurseries and web. |

| I live in Medina. It's about 15-20 minutes from Jackson. You really should look up Randolph's. It's my favorite place. She is very picky about only carrying plants that do well here. That variety of Pulmonaria was doing well under a tree there. I also grow Hydrangeas. The variety called 'Twist and Shout' bloomed twice for me last year. It is becoming my favorite because it repeats so well. Bleeding Hearts are awesome to put around Hydrangeas. |

| I know where Medina is.A few of my co-workers live there. I looked up Randolph's and I'm going to check them out! I grow hydrangeas and have one bleeding heart but never thought of growing them together. I bet that is a striking combo! My have to try them together. Thanks again for all your help. |
