One in our Toe Tickler Collection, Lamium 'Lemon Frost' is delightful and colorful spreading perennial groundcover that forms a patch of small lemon-lime leaves with a central silver stripe. Clusters of deep lavender-pink flowers appear in spring, then continue on and off until fall. Lemon Frost is slower to spread than most other selections. Trailing stems spread by underground rhizomes, making it an excellent weed-smothering groundcover plant for shady situations. With such fantastic coloring, this groundcover is breaktaking even when not in bloom!
The growth will be most compact in moist, well-drained soils, but Lamium can grow in drier areas as well. It grows well in shade or partial shade, not liking the hot afternoon sun. Lamium is evergreen in mild regions and herbaceous in cooler zones. In both areas, it will benefit by a shearing in the spring to stimulate healthy, new growth.
Maintenance is little to none. Stems can be pinched back easily when desired. Will appreciate supplemental water during prolonged periods of dry weather. Lamiums are squirrel, rabbit and deer resitant.
