The Lamiastrum ‘Hermann’s Pride’ is a groundcover perennial with decorative foliage, known for its dark green leaves marked with large silver areas. Its bright foliage brings contrast and texture to shady garden spots. It can also be used as an annual in arrangements.
In spring, it produces small yellow flowers grouped in whorls above the foliage.
It forms a dense, spreading carpet, ideal for borders, undergrowth, shady beds, and shaded pots. Unlike common Lamiastrum, ‘Hermann’s Pride’ is more compact and less invasive.
It prefers partial to full shade, in cool, well-drained soil.
