Ghost Spotted Dead-Nettle, from the mint family (Lamiaceae) found in Europe, is an underrated workhorse of a plant. It's widely adaptable to nearly any light conditions and creates a beautiful combination of variegated green and silver colors. A Lamium maculatum has a square stem, and its leaves showcase a distinct texture with serrated margins. Purple flowers cover its foliage by mid- to late spring, giving your landscape a spectacular display! Pair your purple deadnettle with spring bulbs for a multilayered garden. Besides adding color to your garden, a purple dead-nettle is also a medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory properties. Its leaves can help ease bug bites and even stop bleeding! A selection of Lamium maculatum in your lawn will attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators without bringing deer or rabbits to your property.
