Light up your shade garden and containers with the glimmering silver-white foliage of Purple Dragon Deadnettle, Lamium. Its clusters of large, pretty purple flowers appear for months beginning in spring. A profuse blooming Deadnettle. Tolerant of dry shade once established.

A vigorous variety, Purple Dragon Spotted Deadnettle works fantastic as a weed-smothering groundcover. Its bright foliage will brighten your dark areas and set off everything around it. It is one of our most popular “spillers” for containers, either alone or mixed with other plants. It is easy to grow and deer—and rabbit-resistant.

Growing instructions: Plant in part shade or filtered light. In the ground, plant in soil that has been amended with compost or other organic matter. Use good potting soil for container grown plants. Adding a starter fertilizer when planting will get plants off to a speedy start. Its evergreen foliage should be trimmed back hard in early spring.
