Description

Lamium maculatum ‘Purple Dragon’ is an eye-catching ground cover that quickly establishes itself, making it an excellent choice for adding color to shaded areas of your garden. This plant is particularly celebrated for its large, deep magenta-purple flowers that bloom from late spring through summer, often continuing to produce blossoms into early autumn. The vibrant flowers create a stunning visual display, drawing attention and brightening up even the shadiest corners of your outdoor space.

In addition to its striking blooms, ‘Purple Dragon’ features bold silver leaves edged in green, providing year-round interest and a beautiful contrast in garden borders or as underplanting. This hardy plant thrives in shady or partially shaded locations, where it spreads to form a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds. Its low-maintenance nature makes it an ideal choice for gardeners looking for a resilient option that flourishes in various soil conditions, whether dry shade or moist environments.

Once established, this ground cover is drought-tolerant and resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a practical solution for challenging garden spots. Furthermore, its flowers attract pollinators, particularly bees, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden. ‘Purple Dragon’ is versatile enough to be used in containers, as edging, or in woodland gardens, and it can be placed beneath shrubs or trees. For those looking to maintain its appearance, a light trim after flowering can refresh the foliage and encourage additional blooms, ensuring that this vibrant plant continues to enhance your garden throughout the seasons. Height: 20 cm (8 in) Spread: 45 cm (18 in)

How to Grow
Pot up Lamium plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When Dead Nettle plants are well grown, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant Lamium in semi or dappled shade. Dead Nettles prefer a well drained, moist, fertile soil, but can cope well in drier soils once established. On drier soils, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or compost prior to planting and choose a shaded position.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Water Lamium plants regularly throughout summer until fully established. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Dead Nettle in spring to maintain their vigour.
