Plant details
The better behaved varieties of Lamium maculatum such as 'White Nancy', 'Beacon Silver', and 'Pink Pewter' look handsome without becoming invasive. In all but the most severe winters their foliage persists, making them good for winter containers especially hanging baskets, teamed with winter flowering pansies, primroses or polyanthus. Elsewhere they make superb ground cover in shade under trees and shrubs, including dry shade where few plants survive. Underplant with dwarf bulbs, and chop back whenever stems become invasive.
