Brighten shady areas with Orchid Frost Spotted Dead Nettle, a low-growing groundcover featuring bluish-green foliage edged in silver and spikes of shell pink flowers from mid-spring to late summer. The attractive variegated leaves provide season-long interest while the delicate flowers add soft color to shade gardens. Reaching just 6 inches tall with flowers extending to 8 inches and spreading 24 inches, this vigorous selection is perfect for groundcover, border edging, or filling in around taller shade plants. The fine texture and deer resistance make it ideal for mass plantings in woodland gardens or containers as a spiller. Drought tolerant once established and attractive to butterflies.
