    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Lamium maculatum 'Beacon Silver' is a spotted deadnettle that's a perfect ground cover for the shady garden. Gorgeous heart-shaped, semi-evergreen foliage is silver with narrow green margins. Small, hooded lavender flowers emerge in late spring in attractive whorls and continue on and off until fall. Fairly tolerant of dry shade once established. Grows 6-8 inches tall and 12-24 inches wide. Great in beds, border edges, containers, and as a ground cover along pathways or for underplanting larger shade perennials, trees, and shrubs. Pollinator attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant.

    A ground cover of fine silver brocade that will create a brilliant carpet in moist, part shade areas. Only a few inches tall, this perennial is dense enough to smother most weeds; I liken its spreading ability to ajuga in the garden. A single plant will eventually cover a 3' square area. Lavender flowers show off nicely against the bright silver in summer. Evergreen for us, looking great even in winter, but we do shear it back once in awhile to keep the foliage looking perky. Also makes a superb bulb cover. Will cascade and spill over rocks and from pots.
