How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
The Lamiums are called by the somewhat alarming name, Dead Nettle, but that means only this amazing little plant is related to stinging nettle (a rough weed) and doesn't sting...so being a dead nettle is a good thing.
The strange name aside, these short plants(6-10 high), when well grown, can add glistening sheets of color to shady areas were color may be missing. Plant them with Hostas, Bleeding Hearts, and other shade-lovers. They cover the ground so completely they smother out any invading weeds.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"Wonderful ground cover where no grass will grow!"
"I'm surprised that mine are still somewhat alive. I barely water them and they are planted underneath large pine trees at its base. I bought a box from American Meadows and another box from my local nursery. The one from the local nursery is also planted under a pine tree but gets more water than the one from AM, so it's growing much faster and bigger. I guess you could say these plants are pretty drought tolerant but for best results they like water!"
"Beautiful healthy plants, but they are having a hard time getting established. Conditions have been hot and dry so the plants need extra attention."
"great groundcover, just the right color only problem I have is the size . . the folage could be a little full to give it a better start"
"I love that this grows in shade, kills off weeds and weathers an extreme winter! It is super low maintenance and loves the shade but tolerates some sun!"
