Red Nancy, also known as Spotted Dead Nettle, Lamium Maculatum, and Creeping Lamium, is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. This variety has a spreading habit of 6-8" tall and 12-24" wide, with abundant rose-red to mauve flowers on scalloped silver-green foliage from spring to fall. Perennial in zone 3-9, Lamium is fast-growing and flourishes in full or partial shade with regular water. This plant is well-suited to use as a groundcover beneath trees and shrubs and flourishes in shady hanging baskets, mixed landscape borders, and containers. Grow alongside Lami Dark Purple for attractive color contrast.
Red Nancy Selling Tips

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Red Nancy, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, average daily temperatures of 65-68, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). Use a Daminozide spray to control growth if needed. Watch for aphids, slugs, leaf spots, and crown rot.
Flowering
Rose-red to mauve flowers bloom from spring to fall.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration to the base of each plant.
Height Control
Spray B-Nine at 5,000ppm if needed.
Pests
You may see aphids and slugs.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease but leaf spots and crown rot can develop in overly wet conditions. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry between watering and preventing foliage from getting wet. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Red Nancy Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and center the ellepot in the container. The top of the ellepot should be even with the potting media to help prevent crown rot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

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.
