Description

A very hardy perennial groundcover perfect for brightening up a shady to partially shaded spot, Purple Dragon Lamium is a vigorous grower that forms a lush carpet of stunning silvery-white leaves with grey-green edges. The foliage contrasts beautifully with the charming, hooded, rich magenta-purple flower clusters that rise above the foliage in spring and continue sporadically until fall. Excellent in garden beds and containers. Cold hardy to -40F!

Growing Preferences

Purple Dragon 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 good drought tolerance. It’s soft stems make it very easy to clip to keep in bounds.
