Lamium ‘Stormy Frost'

Common Name:
Stormy Frost Deadnettle

Description:
Lamium ‘Stormy Frost’ is a compact, spreading perennial ground cover admired for its striking silver foliage edged in deep green and its soft lavender-purple flowers. Ideal for shaded areas, this cultivar creates a luminous carpet under trees, along pathways, or in mixed borders. It flowers prolifically from spring through to early summer, with occasional blooms appearing into autumn under favourable conditions. In Melbourne gardens, ‘Stormy Frost’ thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring moist, well-drained soils but tolerating short dry spells once established. It’s valued not only for its attractive foliage and flowers but also for its ability to suppress weeds and stabilise soil on slopes or underplanting trees and shrubs. Fast-growing and low-maintenance, it benefits from an occasional trim to keep it dense and neat.
