Lamium (Spotted Dead Needle) is originally from Europe and North Africa. This fast-growing perennial functions well as a groundcover and is resistant to deer and rabbits. Its colorful green-and-silver leaves make a soft, attractive accent in landscapes and combination pots. Lamium is an aggressive plant when grown in partial to full shade and can spread rapidly.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Lamium, we recommend using a well-drained soil and a low-but-constant feed program of 200 ppm N. Maintain a pH between 5.8 - 6.2. Growing Lamium with cooler night temperatures will produce a stockier plant with shorter internodes and more intense color.

'
Pinching
We recommend that you pinch Lamium 5-10 days after transplanting to your final container. Pinch these fast-growers frequently to maintain the plant’s shape for your final needs.
Spacing
Space pots 6-12 inches to allow air flow and penetration of light between plants
Height Control
Plant growth regulators are not necessary for Lamium.
Pests
Aphids and whiteflies are the pests to watch for with Lamium
Disease
Lamium are not prone to many diseases, but watch for botrytis while the days are short. This grey rot is usually associated with wet or humid conditions. You can prevent botrytis by allowing the plant to dry out between waterings, allowing for good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing to allow the sun to penetrate to the soil level. The most common chemicals used to treat botrytis are Medallion and Banrot. Use them as a drench according to each label’s instructions.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
