Lamium Galeobdolon ‘Hermann’s Pride’

Lamium or dead nettle are very useful hardy perennials. Tough and resilient, they thrive in shade on almost any soil, making ideal ground cover or a must-have addition to a woodland or wildlife garden. Forming a nice clump without taking over, Lamium galeobdolon ‘Hermann’s Pride’ boasts sharply toothed leaves with a striking snakeskin-like silver variegation that intensifies in shade. Whorls of buttery yellow tubular flowers are produced from late spring into summer, providing a rich supply of nectar for bees. Drought tolerant once established, yellow archangel is a great plant for tricky spots in dry shade, as well as container schemes and borders. And don’t worry, it doesn’t sting! Height: 20-30cm (8-12in). Spread: 30-45cm (12-18in).
