Lamium maculatum ‘White Nancy’
A bright, reliable groundcover with year-round appeal.
Lamium ‘White Nancy’ is a superb semi-evergreen perennial, grown for its silvery-white leaves edged in soft green. Even in winter, when many other plants have died back, it continues to shine, lighting up shady corners with its reflective foliage. In late spring and early summer it produces clusters of pure white flowers that attract bees and other pollinators, adding another season of interest.
Thriving in partial to full shade, Lamium ‘White Nancy’ is ideal for underplanting shrubs, filling gaps in borders, or carpeting awkward spots where little else will grow. It forms a neat, weed-suppressing mat that stays attractive through the year, especially in mild Island winters where its foliage rarely fades. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, it’s a perfect choice for brightening dark spaces.
