Lamium maculatum, commonly known as spotted deadnettle, is a low-growing perennial valued for its attractive silver-variegated foliage and colorful blooms. Flowers appear in shades of pink, purple, or white above dense mats of foliage, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, borders, containers, and shaded garden areas where it provides season-long interest.
Care Needs:
• Light: Partial sun to full shade
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but well-drained; water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Trim back as needed to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth
