BEACON SILVER DEADNETTLE -
9-12 Inches Tall 12-18 Inches Wide--
Lamium maculatum 'Beacon Silver' is more commonly known as Beacon Silver Deadnettle. It is a popular and striking perennial groundcover, highly prized for its luminous, season-long foliage that brightens shady areas. The most distinctive feature is its heart-shaped leaves, which are predominantly a metallic, silvery-gray color, cleanly edged with a narrow margin of forest green. This mat-forming perennial typically maintains a low profile, growing only 9 to 12 inches in height with a spread of 12-18 inches. From mid-spring to early summer, small, hooded flowers of soft rose, lavender, or pink rise above the silver foliage, providing a lovely contrast and attracting beneficial pollinators like bees. The combination of silvery leaves and delicate flowers ensures 'Beacon Silver' offers visual interest across multiple seasons, often retaining its foliage in mild winter climates.
'Beacon Silver' is an adaptable and low-maintenance choice, thriving best in partial to full shade, as intense afternoon sun can scorch the beautiful silvery leaves. It is not particular about soil type, tolerating loam, clay, or sand, but it requires well-drained conditions to prevent root rot.
