DESCRIPTION
Lamium maculatum 'Orchid Frost' produces hooded orchid-pink flowers in late spring through summer, appearing in small clusters above the foliage and bringing soft color to shaded spaces. Heart-shaped leaves are edged in deep green with broad silvery centers, creating a luminous, finely textured carpet as the stems spread and root along the ground. The foliage remains dense through the growing season, while the flowers rise just above the leaves and attract bees and other pollinators.
Originating from a species native to Europe and western Asia, this cultivar reflects garden selection focused on ornamental foliage and extended bloom. It is well suited to woodland gardens, borders, containers, and beneath shrubs, where its spreading habit and colorful foliage provide lasting seasonal interest.
