Notes
'White Nancy' spotted dead nettle (Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy') is a perennial for ground cover, borders, containers, and shade gardens. 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. The heart-shaped leaves are silver with green edges, and white hooded flowers open in spring and keep coming on and off until fall. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It spreads quickly, so give it room.
Pairs well with Regal Splendor hosta, Pretty Princess tulip, and Bush honeysuckle.
