What is the plant

Injecting light into the shade garden, Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy' (Spotted Dead Nettle) is a semi-evergreen, mat-forming perennial noted for its foliage of heart-shaped, silvery-green leaves adorned with thin dark green margins. Small, hooded, white flowers open in attractive whorls at the end of the stems in late spring and bloom prolifically for about 10 weeks, then sporadically into fall. With a long bloom period and colorful foliage, Spotted Dead Nettle is an excellent groundcover for semi-shaded locations. Evergreen in mild winter climates.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water regularly the first growing season to establish the plants. In arid western climates regular irrigation is needed in hot weather.
Pruning
Clusters of pure white flowers appear in spring, then continue off and on until fall. Fairly tolerant of dry shade, once established. Trim back in late winter. Stems will root into the ground where they touch, and any new plants that form can be easily moved in spring or fall.
Fertilizer
Fertilize lamium with an all-purpose fertilizer in the spring, as new growth appears, and once more in mid-summer. Avoid fertilizing the plant in late summer because the new growth will be winterkilled by the first heavy frost.
