I love White Nancy! Spreads beautifully without ever getting invasive. I have been propagating in my garden, it really lights up any shady corner. Lovely and easy!

Lamium is a wonderful ground cover, does not spread uncontrolably and is easily removed if it does get in something you may not want it to. In Western New York State near Buffalo, I have it growing in a very wide range of conditions. Total, dense, dry shade, full sun and all degrees in between. For first year plants in the deepest, dry shade, continuous watering is recommended. Generally after the first year, the roots will tolerate extreme dryness. The plants will not do as well in total shade as in brighter areas, but will grow and spread, creating a carpet of lightness in a year or two, especially the whiter leaved varieties like White Nancy. Beacon Silver is the purple/pink variety with whiter leaves. I am establishing a bed of Lamium, all different varieties directly under and around a large Crimson King Maple where grass will not grow at all and deer will feed on anything that suits them. Lamium does not suit them, so this plant is perfect for this area. Bill, May, 2006

I've grown this for several years, and find it a very attractive accent plant. The white leaf centers are of a crinkled texture and rimmed with a dark green band. White flower buds appear in late spring.
I have 'White Nancy' and it has not been as vigourous a spreader as I would like or have expected from the description. It is planted in a partially shaded location, with clay soil and average moisture.

'White Nancy' has performed beautifully for me this summer. Planted in dense shade under white pines, and in the company of pink and rose impatiens, astilbe, lirope and hosta, this plant has played its roll well in helping to create a beautiful scene in my first-year border where once there was nothing but poison ivy and Carolina Creeper.
I highly recommend 'White Nancy' and will be trying to locate other lamiums to join her.

A good spreading plant for the shady garden and windowboxes. Spreads slower than Pink Pewter and starts bloom 2-3 weeks later. Foilage is bright, making flowers not so striking but beautiful when combined with red impatients!
