A flowering ground cover is always nice to add to the shady garden. Spotted Dead Nettle has both blooms that go for the whole summer and bright foliage that is a great contrast to other colors of green in a woodland garden. Pink Pewter Spotted Dead Nettle can also be used in containers or hanging baskets as the spiller element. It has a sturdy stem that can put up with a little foot traffic. The green edged silver foliage will light up any area and play off of plants such as Heuchera, Petunias and Impatiens.
Pink Pewter Spotted Dead Nettle is a dense spreader that will fill in an area quickly, but is also easy to control. The new foliage begins to show very early in the spring and goes all of the way to the first hard frost.
Pink Pewter Spotted Dead Nettle Care
Deadnettle will tolerate a wide range of everything. Hardiness zones are from 2-8, pH can be acid to alkaline and soil texture can be clay to chalky. A moist, well drained soil is a must. Soil that does not have enough drainage through the winter will cause Deadnettle to develop root rot and die.
Fertilizing is not often needed. A well balanced, slow release feed can be applied early in the spring when new growth appears. Dividing is only necessary if vigorous growth declines. Lamium that is planted as a container plant will benefit from a monthly diluted liquid feed.
Pink Pewter Spotted Dead Nettle Spacing
This low growing groundcover has a wide reach. Height of 6-12 inches and a width of 12-24 inches. Spacing for planting together as a ground cover is recommended at 20 inches on center.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
