Description

Golden Dead Nettle is a tough, low-maintenance ground cover ideal for dry, shaded areas in Massachusetts landscapes. Its silver-variegated foliage brings brightness to dark corners, and hooded yellow flowers bloom in spring for added charm. This vigorous perennial quickly spreads to carpet large areas under trees or along shaded slopes. This perennial is well-suited to Zones 4–9 and excels where many other plants struggle.

Massachusetts gardeners love Golden Dead Nettle for its adaptability and resilience. It tolerates deer, drought, erosion, dry soil, and even heavy shade—making it a great option for tricky spots. Once established, Yellow Archangel thrives with little care, rooting at the nodes and spreading by creeping stems. It’s an excellent choice for stabilizing soil and bringing low-key beauty to woodland settings.
