This popular variety has silvery leaves with narrow, green margins which provide a lovely backdrop for the lavender-pink, hooded flowers produced from midspring to early summer.
Lamium makes an excellent, weed-smothering groundcover and is also a good mask for dying bulb foliage.

Lamium will brighten up any shady site with its silvery leaves, including under trees. Growth will be most compact in moist, well-drained soils, but it can grow in drier areas, though it may tend to open up.
Lamium is evergreen in mild regions and herbaceous in cooler zones. In both areas, it will benefit by a shearing in the spring to stimulate healthy, new growth. Clumps can easily be divided in spring or early fall.
