Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

This fast-spreading groundcover is a powerhouse for adding brightness and texture to challenging shady areas. Proper site selection ensures the distinctive white foliage stays crisp and prevents scorching.

  • Sunlight: Plant in partial to full shade, receiving no more than two hours of direct morning sun daily. Direct afternoon sunlight is detrimental; it will quickly scorch the delicate white variegation, turning the leaves brown and stressing the entire plant.
  • Soil: While adaptable, White Nancy prefers moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic material. If your site has dense, heavy clay, amend it heavily with compost to improve aeration; this is vital to prevent root rot, particularly during cold, wet winter months.

Watering Requirements

Keep the planting area consistently moist, especially during the establishment period and throughout the first full summer. Once established, Lamium exhibits moderate drought tolerance, but allowing the soil to dry out completely will cause the plant to immediately wilt and the foliage to crisp at the edges. Consistent watering maintains the lush, dense mat of foliage that makes this plant a spectacular groundcover.

Pruning Tips

Lamium produces its flowers on new wood that emerges in the spring, but its primary ornamental feature is its stunning foliage. After the main spring bloom fades and the plant begins to look sparse or leggy, shear the entire planting back by about one-third. Think of this as a revitalizing haircut; this technique encourages a fresh, dense flush of new, brightly-colored foliage and may even stimulate a smaller re-bloom later in the season.

Fertilizer Needs

White Nancy is a low-feeder, meaning it does not require heavy fertilization to thrive. A single, light application of a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer in early spring is sufficient to encourage vigor. What to avoid: Do not use high-nitrogen fertilizers, especially mid-season, as this promotes excessive, soft, and overly aggressive vegetative growth at the expense of its neat, contained habit, making the patch harder to manage.

Brilliant flowering groundcover, White Nancy Lamium (Lamium 'White Nancy') has beautiful oval, variegated silvery-white leaves with greenish margins. You'd be hard-pressed to find a perennial with prettier foliage than this!

But the leaves are not all this plant has going for it, White Nancy spires of pretty, hooded white flowers grace the foliage all spring and summer! The milky blooms attract bees and butterflies, creating a finishing touch to the brilliance of this perennial's appeal all growing season!

Also known as Spotted Deadnettle, these pretty perennials are a vigorous groundcover that blocks weeds and spreads about 2 feet wide but only grows about half a foot tall! This white flowering perennial will spread fast without being invasive, so if you have an area to cover and want it covered now, this is the plant for you!

Then it blooms from late spring into summer and will add tiny crowns of white flowers to the already brilliant display. Thriving throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8 and are easy-to-grow, vigorous plants!

Planting and Application:

White Nancy begins its year with just its foliage as if to let you know the leaves themselves should be fully appreciated. Show off their silver and white color combination in your mixed planters and patio pots beneath your covered porches and patios! Loving more shady locations in the garden, use Lamium as edging, groundcover, and rambling down hillsides or over the tops of retaining walls.

White Nancy looks great among Hostas, Ferns, Lungworts, flowering bulbs, and wildflowers. Plant at the edges of your woodland garden to soften the edges between the landscaped yard and nature. Ideal plants to light up the Moon Garden, White Nancy brings an ethereal beauty to Cottage Gardens and mixed perennial beds, and both Rain Gardens and Rock Gardens alike!

Use Lamium in hanging baskets, in mixed container gardens, trailing over walls, or as an edger, but spread must be controlled. Try clipping some of the foliage off and adding it as an accent to your bright flower bouquets. The blooms last from late spring into summer and will add tiny crowns of white flowers to the already brilliant display as they spill and fill your window boxes and add fringe to formal urns!

  • White Midseason Flowering Spires
  • Shiny Silver Variegated Foliage
  • Low-Growing Spreading Clumps
  • Gorgeous Spreading Groundcover
  • Great For Hanging Planters & Containers

#ProPlantTips for Care:

White Nancy grows best in part shade or full shade in a moist area. Plant these herbaceous perennials in well-drained soil and do not allow it to dry out. We suggest adding a layer of mulch around its base to help protect the roots from the glaring sun while conserving water. Prune and clean the mounds in the early spring before new growth emerges, but other than that, 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

No wildflower garden, container plantings, or perennial flower bed is complete without White Nancy Lamium. Order yours today from our expert growers at Nature Hills Nursery.
