Lamium (Lamium)
Color Name: White Nancy
White Nancy is a popular groundcover known for its striking silver foliage with thin green edges. This low-growing, spreading plant produces clusters of small, white, hooded flowers from late spring to early summer. White Nancy thrives in partial to full shade and prefers well-drained, moist soil. It is a vigorous, yet not invasive, grower that quickly forms a dense mat, suppressing weeds effectively. This hardy annual is deer and rabbit resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for brightening shady areas, edging borders, or filling containers.
Growing Tips: Fairly tolerant of dry shade, once established. Trim or mow back hard in late winter. Evergreen. Excellent choice for all containers.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
