Nearly all-silver leaves with narrow, blue-green margins are a lovely backdrop for the pure white, hooded flowers which are produced from mid spring to early summer. This variety is particularly dense and low.

Lamium makes an excellent, weed-smothering groundcover and is also a good mask for dying bulb foliage.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:

Lamium will brighten up any shady site with its silvery leaves, including under trees. Growth will be most compact in moist, well-drained soils, but it can grow in drier areas, though it may tend to open up.

Lamium is evergreen in mild regions and herbaceous in cooler zones. In both areas, it will benefit by a shearing in the spring to stimulate healthy, new growth. Clumps can easily be divided in spring or early fall.
