Notes
'Elisabeth de Haas' spotted dead nettle (Lamium maculatum 'Elisabeth de Haas') is a perennial for ground cover, shade gardens, borders, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. It makes rose-pink flowers in spring, summer, and autumn. It creeps along at a rapid rate and spreads up to 18 inches, so give it room. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Mini Skirt hosta, Canadian white violet, Autumn crocus, and Bush honeysuckle.
