About this plant
This carpeting plant has silvery leaves with a pale-green edging. The leaves are elegant and ovate. Small columns of rather pretty, white flowers are produced in late spring and early summer, which generally last for some weeks. It is a useful groundcover plant for a partially shaded site, where it can be rather more slow growing than some of the other varieties of dead nettle which means it is not at all invasive.

Autumn · Planting
Remove offsets to create new plants
Offsets are small plants or shoots that develop around the parent plant. They should have developed a root system of their own before they are detached. They can be planted directly, or grown in pots if so small they could be 'lost' in the garden.

Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
