How to grow spotted deadnettle
Lamium maculatum
When to plant spotted deadnettle
Spotted deadnettle is a fast-growing groundcover for shade with silver-blotched leaves that brighten dark corners and clusters of small pink-to-purple flowers from late spring into summer (NC State). Plant starter plants 6 to 10 inches apart in spring or fall in moist, well-drained shade; cut it back to refresh bare patches after hot, humid summers.
Spotted Deadnettle is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
