Description
A very hardy perennial groundcover perfect to light up a shady to partly sunny spot, Beacon Silver Lamium is a vigorous grower that forms a carpet of stunning silvery-white leaves in garden beds or to cascade over the pots rim in container gardens. As an extra-added bonus, in spring to early summer clusters of cute, deep lavender flowers are perched just above and contrast beautifully with the foliage.

Growing Preferences
Beacons Silver Lamium is very easy to grow in most any most but well-drained soil of average fertility and part shade. With consistently moist soil it will tolerate full sun, even in the South, but we think it looks and performs its best with some shade, especially in the afternoons. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. Established plants growing in shade have moderate drought tolerance. It’s soft stems make it very easy to clip to keep in bounds.
