The Lamium ‘Jade Frost’ is a shade-loving ground cover perennial, prized for its silver foliage edged in green, which is very bright in undergrowth and semi-shaded areas. It can also be used as an annual in arrangements.
In spring and early summer, it produces lavender-pink flowers that contrast beautifully with the light foliage.
It forms a dense, spreading carpet, ideal for borders, undergrowth, shaded beds, and shaded pots. Easy to care for, it adapts well to cool, well-drained soils.
