Lamium maculatum 'Purple Dragon'

Dead Nettle

Deepest purple, most snapdragon-like flowers of any Lamium. Bright silvery foliage.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Growth will be most compact in moist, well-drained soils, but it can grow in drier areas, though it may tend to open up. This plant will benefit by a shearing in the spring to stimulate healthy new growth. Makes an excellent, weed-smothering groundcover and is also a good mask for dying bulb foliage.

Interesting Information
This cultivar was selected by Chris Van Sanden of Hortech, Inc. Lamium is evergreen in mild regions and herbaceous in cooler zones.
