A robust variety of Spotted Dead Nettle. Makes a great spreader of shimmering silver leaves with scalloped blue-green edges in shady areas. Fills in spaces between hostas and other shady perennials and looks great cascading over walls a embedded boulders. It's a heavy bloomer, with masses of tubular orchid pink flowers. Plant in part to full shade. Grows 6-10 inches tall and spreads where allowed, but is easy to control. Hardy to Zone 3.
