White Nancy Spotted Deadnettle, False Salvia

White Nancy Spotted Deadnettle, False Salvia

Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy'

This spreading perennial salvia bears white flower spikes in spring summer, a long-blooming, pollinator-rich perennial earning its place through an extended season of colour with minimal care.

  • White flower spikes are produced in spring summer and continue reliably through summer; deadhead spent spikes to encourage rebloom.
  • Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, one of the most pollinator-productive perennials for Ontario gardens.
  • Spreading habit, reaching 20 cm at maturity; drought tolerant once established; excellent drainage is essential, avoid waterlogged winter soils.
  • Best in partial shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil.

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.
