Description
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.

Lamium Love LOW LIGHT!
"Perfect for SHADY w tiny bit of sunlight. I bought all colors and planted in 2 large planters (2ft x 2ft). They thrived. So happy to have something that finally thrives in little sun. I put fencing around just in case but the deer never bothered it. Gently watered under leaves occasionally. Love these!"
I would recommend this
"100% of the plants are doing great"
I would buy this product again
"Very impressed with how quickly they are spreading. Would definitely continue buying from your company."
A couple blooms a month after planting!
"Wanted something colorful and low for the edge of a shade garden. So excited about the pretty foliage and cute purple flowers. Did not expect it to bloom so soon after planting, but I think it likes where it is!"
Tough little plant!
"Arrived in terrible shape. Shipping was not kind to the plants After placing them back in their 3" pots I added water and hoped for the best. The next day they looked 80% better, and I planted them in a shaded area among some Hostas. That area gets a little light in the mornings. The plants are already growing and its been just 5 days!"
I would buy this plant again if needed
"This is a ground cover in my yard. Unfortunately, it is the only plant of my order that survived, but it is doing well."
Grows very well under tree where not much else will
"Finally found to fill in space under tree besides just Hosta. Only ordered 3 because I wasn't sure how they would do. Now I want to order several more but your out of stock every time I look ( please let me know when they back in)"
Here's hoping!!!
"Got four in the mail about a month ago and though one was half dead they are all thriving now! I did lose half of a plant but what did survive is very healthy!"
Beautiful groundcover!
"I love the contrast of the white and green leaves against the purple flowers and other plants. So far, the plants seem to be thriving. I'll still have to see how well they survive the Indiana winter."
I would buy this plant again for a different garden setting.
"I used it in a small shady area. It arrived in good condition and did well after planted. It was fine until about mid summer when it began to die back from the outer lengths to the rooted portion. Might have been something that I did. I deliberately placed rocks around it to prevent it from taking over the area where it was planted. I would plant it again in a garden where there was room for it to spread unhindered, but not in my current garden."
