Product description
'White Nancy' is an outstanding shade-loving groundcover, celebrated for its striking silver foliage that is delicately edged with a narrow margin of deep green. Above this luminous mat of leaves, it produces clusters of small, pure white, hooded flowers that brighten up the gloomiest corners of the garden.
This deadnettle requires very little maintenance and spreads rapidly to suppress weeds, making it ideal for underplanting shrubs or trees. It prefers partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil; if the foliage begins to look untidy mid-season, a hard shear will quickly prompt a flush of fresh, vibrant new leaves.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
The Lamium White Nancy is an enthusiastic spreader that roots wherever the stems touch the ground; if it starts marching into territory where it isn't welcome, simply grab handfuls of the shallowly rooted stems and rip them out.
How to Water
Lamium prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water whenever the top inch of soil feels dry, typically 1–2 times weekly. Avoid waterlogging the roots or wetting the foliage excessively, as this can lead to crown rot or mildew.
How to Plant
Tuck your Lamium groundcover into the shaded, darker corners of your garden where the silver foliage can act as a natural reflector to brighten the space. It is incredibly unfussy about the digging process, but working a few handfuls of organic matter into the top layer of dirt will help it spread faster.
