A hardworking perennial groundcover that practically glows in the shade, Lamium 'Orchid Frost Gold' forms a spreading, weed-smothering mat that successfully blankets the shady areas where lawn grasses fail, and that would otherwise stay bare. The silver foliage with golden-green base tones and dark edging is evergreen in mild climates and deciduous in colder climates.
Clusters of orchid pink flowers cover this spotted nettle in mid-spring and occasionally show up throughout summer. But even without the blooms, Lamium 'Orchid Frost Gold' has elegant two-toned foliage and a tidy habit that make it a welcome addition in the garden or in a combination planter.
Lamium 'Orchid Frost Gold' is vigorous and resistant to foliage leaf spots. To stimulate healthy new growth, prune in late spring after flowering.
