Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy', commonly known as White Nancy Dead Nettle, is a low-growing perennial ground cover prized for its variegated silver-green foliage and clusters of small, tubular white flowers. This cultivar forms a dense mat of foliage, making it an excellent choice for filling in gaps in the garden or underplanting taller plants.
'White Nancy' typically grows to around 15-20 centimeters in height, with a spread of 30-45 centimeters. It thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-draining soil. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and is drought-tolerant once established. It is also deer-resistant, making it a great choice for gardens where deer are a concern.
To grow Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy', plant it in a shady spot with rich, well-draining soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Prune back after flowering to encourage bushier growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
