Yellow Archangel

Lamium galeobdolon

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This shade-loving perennial forms a loose mat of heart-shaped leaves with brushed silver markings in the centers. Clusters of golden-yellow flowers bloom in early summer. It is tolerant of drought once established but grows optimally with plenty of moisture. It is stoloniferous, meaning that it spreads through above ground stems and can become aggressive if grown in optimal conditions.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
