Lamiums, commonly known as deadnettles, superficially resemble stinging nettles to deter herbivores from eating them. However they don't have any stinging ability at all. Species can be annuals or perennials, with many valued for their mat-forming habit and tolerance of shade. They’re also highly attractive to bees.

Lamium maculatum ‘Roseum’ forms a low-growing carpet of deeply veined bright green leaves with a central white stripe, complemented by spikes of pink flowers in summer. It's particularly useful for growing beneath trees and shrubs.

For best results grow Lamium maculatum ‘Roseum’ in moist, well-drained soil in partial shade. If growing in dry shade, give it plenty of water while it establishes.
