makes a great shade plant. when in sun the whitish tint seems to fade from the leaves but in a shady area it has nice foliage. very hardy in zone 5.

I haven't grown this plant, but I noticed this morning that it listed as a noxious weed in Washington State.

I love this plant almost as much as the bumble-bees do! I think it was the very first plant in my garden. It looks very nice next to my lupine plants (the ones with purple and yellow bi-colored flowers; I forget the cultivar). I almost never have to water it. Pest free and always looks good, even when not in flower. I'd recommend this plant to anyone.

Nice clump, over wintered well, and looks nice. Not as much silver on the leaves as last year, perhaps it's because of not a lot of sun, had lots of rain lately. Growing in Zone 4b, morning sun only.

Unlike the regular Yellow Archangel, 'Hermann's Pride' is clump-forming rather than spreading or trailing. Wonderful bold variegation on sharply pointed leaves and nice yellow flowers in mid spring. Nice contrast, nice form, and handles even dry shade with grace.

I purchased my Hermann's Pride from a local nursery about three years ago, and it winters over faithfully every year. It's a wonderful bit of contrast to the other foliage in my bed, and they yellow blooms are quite unusual.
