Ghost Lamium

The silvery Ghost Lamium (Lamium maculatum 'Ghost'), also known as Spotted Deadnettle, is an evergreen perennial with outstanding ornamental foliage features! Each dainty leaf's silver hue stands out amid more commonly colored plantings, impossible to miss even amid tall, colorful plants.

The leaves have serrated edges and tiny veins that are highlighted with various shades of green with a silver sheen. The overall effect becomes a natural masterpiece in any setting! As if this weren't enough, Ghost Lamium produces a spring bloom of petite, butterfly-friendly purple blossoms that repeat throughout the summer. The effect of the tiny spots of lavender against the green-edged, silver leaves is breathtaking!

Your Ghost Lamium may be small in stature compared to other Lamium but retains a magnificent ornamental nature. Its foliage is the main attraction, with heart-shaped leaves as an adorable feature of this lush, evergreen perennial in mild winter climates, but are lovely herbaceous perennials in cooler climates throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9.

Planting and Application:

Plant a few where you'd like an impressive groundcover, or use them for a stand-out edging plant along borders, in Cottage gardens, and Moon Gardens. It's quite hardy and a wonderful choice when you need something fast-growing or in areas where it's a bit shady or dry. It's deer-resistant and even bunnies will pass it by.

It's a plant you can put in place and will quickly spread out. It can be left to grow naturally, or you can trim it back in winter for a neater appearance! There are very few perennials with the exquisite color and texture of Ghost Lamium!

Not only is it an incredibly beautiful groundcover, but is also terrific at choking back weeds wherever it's planted. Ghost Lamium has amazing color and texture, perfect for your yard, but also in a container planting on your patio, or as a spiller in shaded urns and planters.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Ghost Deadnettle is such an easy-to-grow herbaceous perennial! It tolerates dry shade better than most plants once it gets established. Plant in any well-drained soil with regular moisture access during its establishment period, but can handle itself once it is settled. It loves to spread but is easy to keep in bounds with a little bit of trimming. It likes to get a good hard mow-down in late winter, too. It comes back beautifully in the spring to thrill you all year. Prune and clean the mounds in the early spring before new growth emerges. Lamium is low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and adaptable!

• Partial Shade & Full Shade
• Almost Any Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate to Low Moisture Once Established
• Deadhead For Rebloom & Prune Early Spring
• Deer Resistant Perennials

If you're seeking a uniquely colorful groundcover and spiller that maintains some color even during the winter months, Ghost Lamium is the perennial for you this year!
