                 Dead Nettle: Bad Name … Great Perennial Plant

Wow! Look at this gorgeous blooming perennial, Dead Nettle, Lamium maculatum ‘Shell Pink’. Its leaves are beautifully variegated, and its flowers are long-blooming; blooms late spring through early-mid summer. It grows best in part sun to shade and reaches a height of 8-12inches. Use it to add a splash of color to a shade garden, a container garden, under trees and shrubs, as a ground cover or along walkways and the edge of a garden. It looks particularly good when combined with spring flowering bulbs.
