Description
Lamium orvala Album or White Deadnettle has many advantages. Its generous foliage, with its particularly graphic leaves, forms a beautiful bushy clump. Its charming flowers, bright white just shaded with a light pink, contrast with the green leaves in the background. It is also a hardy perennial, undemanding, which is happy in ordinary soil, even poor soil, and adapts to different locations.
The rhizomatous roots of the White Deadnettle are creeping, they do not sink deeply and do not show invasive behaviour. They only expand to allow the stump to develop. Solid stems covered with leaves rise from it, these are semi-evergreen under certain climates. Their leaves are ovate, slightly heart-shaped, and have dentate edges. They are particularly veined and embossed, reflecting even the slightest light. It is reminiscent of nettles who they are related to but do not worry about stings, Lamium orvala Album is not urticating.
Standing out clearly from this green setting, small flowers, 3 cm (1in), appear from May to June-July, with a calyx with villous teeth that surrounds the corolla tube. The corolla extends into two fringed lips, one upper and one lower. The name "Lamium" actually comes from Greek and means a throat or an open mouth. If you take the time to observe them, you can admire their delicacy and this unique shape. This will allow you to no longer consider nettles as uninteresting, as they have the same flowers.
The average size of the Lamium orvala Album, 50 cm (20in) tall by 30 cm (12in) wide, allows it to fit anywhere without difficulty, offering us its abundant foliage. Essential in a green and white ensemble, it harmonizes perfectly with Japanese Anemones, Canadian Dogwood, and follows on from Hellebores. It also integrates perfectly into a composition of varied foliage, alongside Heucheras, Lungworts, and perennial Geraniums. It will then be placed at the front of large flower beds or at the feet of bushes.

Planting and care
Lamium orval Album can be planted in spring or autumn. It appreciates ordinary soils and can even tolerate poor soil. Once established, it can withstand drought, but prefers moist soil. It naturally finds its place at the foot of trees and bushes.
It can adapt to any position, but its foliage will be denser under partial shade.
It can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F). However, its foliage disappears due to frost, so the stems should be pruned at the end of winter for them to regenerate in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
