Notes
'Pink Pewter' spotted dead nettle (Lamium maculatum 'Pink Pewter') is a perennial for ground cover, shade gardens, and borders. 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 creeps and grows at a rapid rate, so it fills space fast. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Lenten rose, Siebold's hosta, and Fringed bleeding heart.
