I love this little plant. I have it planted on the east side of my house under some burning bushes and it looks beautiful. It looked a little ragged after its first winter, but then it took right off and has been great ever since.

Neutral jerseyhole On May 21, 2008, jerseyhole from Townsend, DE wrote:

I planted ten of these across the front walkway of my house, not reading that they prefer the shade! They seem fine, all in bloom, and very attractive for their low growing habit. I loved the color of the leaves and they way the flowers grow underneath the foliage. My house faces West and I am scared that these beauties will die because of my lack of attention to the tag, so I will move them to the side of my home, where there is considerably more shade before the heat of summer!

I would say this is the most beautiful of the deadnettles. But I have tried it two to three times in different locations and every time it didn't survive the winter - more of a wimp than other deadnettles.

I believe another name for this plant is 'Anne Greenway'.

I tried growing this plant 3 different times. First two plants committed suicide in their pots, the third died in the ground 6 months after planted.

Positive JBenbow On Jun 5, 2005, JBenbow from Norwich, CT wrote:

Split 8 qt boxes under a well-established maple in mid summer but lost most due to drought over vacation. Several plants survived through the winter, surprised me in spring and over two years have grown into 3'x3' patches. Stunning purple flowers mid-spring into summer and variegation adds interest. Part sun/shade in this garden.
