Description
Ghost Spotted Dead Nettle is a striking shade-loving groundcover that brightens darker areas of the garden with shimmering silver foliage and vibrant orchid-purple blooms. Its silvery leaves, highlighted by narrow green edges, create a luminous effect that stands out beautifully in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and under trees. From mid-spring through early fall, clusters of vivid purple-pink flowers rise above the foliage, attracting butterflies and adding long-lasting color to the landscape.
Fast-growing and highly adaptable, Ghost Spotted Dead Nettle quickly forms a dense carpet that helps suppress weeds while adding texture and contrast to the garden. It thrives in partial shade to full shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, including dry sites once established. Ideal for groundcover plantings, rock gardens, borders, and containers, this versatile perennial provides season-long interest and dependable performance with minimal effort.
