[PRIMROSES] Pulmonaria

I was looking yesterday and the pulmonaria are still green. I had assumed
that they die back without ever looking. We've had several freezes so its
not from lack of cold. They do perk up from a drought with water but they
really flourish in the bog area I spoke of that stays wet.
PS I didn't have a mildew problem in the bog area that stays wet. It must
be more cultivar specific. Sorry I don't know the cultivar I have in the bog.
