Lamium 'Jade Frost' growing guide

Lamium 'Jade Frost'

Botanical: Lamium maculatum
Plant Type: Evergreen perennial
Size (HxW): 15-25cm x 20- 120cm. They are easily pinched to control the size but can be left to ramble as you choose.
Depth & Spacing: Plant at the same level as in the pot with the roots spread evenly below the soil. Space 30cm apart.
Soil: Moderately fertile to humus rich, moist, well drained soil is ideal.
Aspect: Semi shade to full shade. They need as little as four hours a day.
Climate: Cool to Mediterranean
Frost: Hardy
Water: Water to establish, then only if rainfall is low. It takes around four weeks to establish a potted plants, this allows time for the roots to penetrate the surrounding soil.
Fertiliser: Apply a well balanced fertiliser in spring and or autumn.
Flowering Time: Spring to summer
After Flower Care: Trim to contain if necessary. Cut back long/untidy stems late autumn after flowering to promote vigorous plants.
Notes: These are a bright choice for shady areas. If they become lanky, cut them back and they will soon re-shoot. Where the stems touch the ground they will form roots. They are easily removed in spring or autumn if required, or you can take advantage and expand your plot or share them with others. A good option for mixed container plantings as a spiller.
