Hirt's Gardens Variegated Yellow/Silver Archangel - Lamiastrum - Great Groundcover - Qt Pot

Lamiastrum galeobdolon 'Variegatum' is a stoloniferous, spreading perennial that features stunning green and silver variegated foliage with 2" long leaves that are oval to nearly round. It forms a loose mat of foliage which spreads indefinitely. Two-lipped, yellow flowers appear in whorls on short stalks in late spring. The foliage is like Lamium, except it grows taller and faster and takes more sun. It grows moderately fast to rapidly to form a lovely silver and green groundcover that is good for erosion control. Evergreen in southern climates. Spreading by creeping stems, it can be somewhat invasive in optimum growing conditions. Lamiastrum is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Best in moist soils in part shade. Once established, it tolerates some drought. It can be sheared back to shape and to promote new foliage growth. Mature height 12-18", spacing 12-18".
