thankyou all, at first thought it was me, seem to attract slugs like there going out of fashion, like i said, very amateur, maybe back for more advice thanks again
Pulmonaria seed all over the place. Sun or shade, they don't mind. They look great in the spring with primroses. Some leaves are boring and green with a few insipid spots. Pull them out. Some gave wonderful variegation, keep them. If they get powdery mould, cut them to ground level and they will come back healthy. Wear gloves when dealing with older leaves as the hairs can be mildly irritating.
I leave them once past their best because the bees love them so I chop them back when other plants come I to flower.
I find with mine that the mildew always starts on the flowering stems.If I cut those off, the other leaves stay healthy and I don't need to cut them back and have an ugly bare patch just when I want it all to look pretty

they'll put up with dry as well if they're completely in the shade.
Due to demolition of laurel some of mine are now in too much sun and wilting. They won't die but they don't look very good. I'll move them in winter
In the sticks near Peterborough
