Pink Pewter Lamium Plant

Pink Pewter Lamium is a perfect choice for a showy but easy to grow ground cover. The beautiful gray green foliage gives way to a soft silver tone at the edges and light pink flowers arise on stems throughout the spring and summer. Paired with other shade lovers, like hostas, you can create a lovely groundcover that will prevent the weeds from popping up. They can be grown in full sun to shade in the northern gardens; southern gardens should provide midday shade as they are challenged by heat and humidity.

Our Lamium Plants are grown with care and free from harmful pesticides, making them a safe and beautiful groundcover addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!
