Lamium galeobdolon | Yellow Archangel
DESCRIPTION
Lamium galeobdolon, commonly known as Yellow Archangel, is a vigorous perennial appreciated for its striking variegated foliage and cheerful yellow flowers. The plant's leaves are typically dark green with silvery markings, adding texture and brightness to shaded or woodland gardens. Its bright yellow, hooded flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, forming in clusters along the stems and providing a lively contrast against the foliage.
Native to Europe and parts of Asia, Lamium galeobdolon thrives in shaded environments, where its creeping habit helps it spread efficiently as a ground cover. Often used in naturalistic or woodland settings, it can also be effective in controlling erosion on slopes or filling in gaps under trees. The plant is known for its ability to naturalize quickly, providing both ornamental and practical benefits in garden landscapes.
