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. 'White Nancy' is particularly dense and low growing. Lamium makes an excellent, weed-smothering groundcover and is also a good mask for dying bulb foliage.
Lamium is an excellent plant to use in shady sites. It will be most attractive in rich, moist soil but is a tough plant, surviving in drier areas including under trees once established. Trim back in late winter. Stems will root into the ground where they touch.
