Growing & Maintenance Tips
Best grown in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in partial shade to full shade. Vigorous grower and very tolerant of dry, shady locations. Can fill in a large space in a short time, is manageable and not necessarily invasive. Hot, humid summers can cause foliage decline. If foliage becomes leggy or unruly, you can prune or mow  to promote a more compact, tidy habit. Pruning will also promote new blooms, forming sporadically throughout the summer and into the fall.
Notes
Also referred to as Dead Nettle, Lamium, Spotted Dead Nettle, Spotted Henbit. Very vigorous grower. Can become invasive if not kept in check.Clippings should not be incuded in compost.
