Description

Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy' is a charming, low-growing perennial ground cover prized for its striking silver-white variegated foliage and its ability to thrive in challenging shady areas. This mat-forming plant features scalloped, quilted, heart-shaped leaves arranged in opposite pairs on square stems, each leaf a beautiful silver-white with a thin, dark green edge. From late spring through summer, it produces short, upright stalks bearing small, hooded, pure white flowers that add a delicate, airy touch and attract bees and other pollinators. Exceptionally shade-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance, it is an outstanding choice for brightening dark corners under trees, in woodland gardens, along pathways, and as a colorful ground cover.

Faqs

Q: How much sun does White Nancy Dead Nettle need?
A: It thrives in partial shade to full shade. It tolerates some morning sun but must be protected from hot afternoon sun, which can scorch the variegated leaves.

Q: Does it spread aggressively?
A: It spreads readily by above-ground runners, but it is generally considered a well-behaved ground cover that is easy to control by trimming.

Q: Is it deer resistant?
A: Yes, it is generally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for gardens with wildlife pressure.

Q: Can it tolerate dry shade?
A: It prefers consistently moist soil but, once established, has moderate drought tolerance and is a good choice for dry shade under trees.

Q: When should I cut it back?
A: In late winter or early spring, cut back the old, tattered foliage to the ground to make way for fresh new growth. This helps maintain its vigor and appearance.
