Add year-round beauty and fast-growing coverage to your landscape with 5 Lamium (Dead Nettle) Starter Live Plants. This attractive perennial ground cover is prized for its striking silver-green variegated foliage and delicate pink to purple blooms. Thriving in both sun and shade, Lamium is an excellent choice for filling bare spaces with color and texture.

From spring through summer, colorful flowers bloom above the foliage, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators.
