Description For a non-invasive ground cover, consider the very attractive silvery foliage of the spotted deadnettle cultivar known as ‘White Nancy’ to help lighten up darker areas in the garden.

  Morphology:
This an an evergreen ground cover that grows to 1 foot in height and 3 feet in width. White flowers form from late spring through the end of the summer.

  Adaptation:
This ground cover does best in full to partial shade. It will survive in the sun if it given ample water. However it will scorch in full sun if it is allowed to dry out. It benefits from deadheading or shearing to keep plants neat looking and true to type.

  Pests:
The literature states that there are no pests of deadnettle.
