Also known as dead nettles - a very un-glamorous name for a very pretty plant with nice variegated leaves. Lamium species are widely cultivated as groundcover, and numerous cultivars have been selected for garden use. They are frost hardy and grow well in most soils. Flower color determines planting season and light requirement: white- and purple-colored flowered species are planted in spring and prefer full sun. The yellow-flowered ones are planted in autumn and prefer shade.
