Lamium ‘Orchid Frost’

Common Name:
Orchid Frost Dead Nettle

Description:
Lamium ‘Orchid Frost’ is a vigorous, low-growing perennial ground cover known for its stunning silver foliage edged with soft green, and delicate orchid-purple flowers. It thrives in shaded garden beds where other plants may struggle, making it a top pick for underplanting in Melbourne gardens. Its attractive foliage provides year-round interest, even when not in flower. ‘Orchid Frost’ prefers moist, well-drained soil and tolerates dry periods once established. It spreads gently via creeping stems, making it ideal for covering bare soil or trailing over garden walls. This cultivar blooms profusely during the warmer months and is an excellent option for softening borders and filling difficult shady corners.
