I am having my worst year too with Pulmonaria- we have been so wet and cool
this year plus it is a terrible year for cut worms. I a hoping that we get
out of this wet and cool pattern that we have been in-so I can cut off the
spring foliage and promote a second flush of clean leaves.
Round Up should take care of the Crownwretch, the trick is to spray at the
best time.
If you only have a small area to treat-buy the premade solution in the
trigger bottles.
Spray when it is warm and dry and the plants are still growing. A second
treatment in 10 days should take care of the plants.
You want to spray the plant down so that it is somewhat wet with the solution
but not soaking. You will get the best results in the spring-so do it now
before summer comes and the plants stop growing.
