Disappointed, I received two young plants whose rather ordinary foliage does not match the advertised colour (it's all green!). Their appeal is somewhat diminished, but I still kept them and they are thriving.

Description
Lamium galeobdolon, formerly known as Lamiastrum galeobdolon or more commonly known as yellow archangel or yellow deadnettle, is a perennial herbaceous plant that forms a thick 30cm (12in) carpet, with light green veined foliage that is roughly toothed and irregularly speckled with silver-grey. It produces rhizomes and stolons that allow for rapid colonisation of moist and shaded areas, even under trees. Leafy yellow spikes rise above the carpet during the summer. This plant is easy to establish, but it can sometimes become invasive.
The galeobdolon species is native to Europe and Asia Minor and is very hardy down to -20°C (-4°F). This excellent ground cover brings freshness and a beautiful carpeting effect with its thick vegetation comparable to that of periwinkle, but with semi-evergreen foliage of a lighter shade. The short-petioled leaves have an elliptical, pointed, and roughly toothed lamina, 2 to 3cm (1in) long, reminiscent of nettle leaves but non-stinging. However, they emit an unpleasant odour when crushed. They are arranged in an opposite manner along square stems and form scattered rosettes along reddish stolons. The flowers are bilabiate, as in all members of the Lamiaceae family, and reach 18mm (1in). They are grouped in leafy spikes that stand upright, delivering a bright yellow that illuminates the base of trees and bushes.
Very hardy, it quickly colonises embankments and thrives at the base of trees alongside daffodils, notably Narcissus 'Actaea', with which it forms a perfect duo. With rapid growth and a tendency to become invasive, reserve this plant for wild areas to form a carpet that prevents weeds from growing. You can associate Lamiastrum with vigorous perennials such as Geranium macrorrhizum, Epimedium perralchicum, and 'Red Dragon' knotweed.
Did you know? The word galeobdolon comes from the Greek galê, meaning "weasel, polecat," and bdolos, meaning "stench," in reference to the leaves that emit an unpleasant odour when crushed.

Planting and care
Lamiastrum galeobdolon thrives in shade or partial shade. It can tolerate full sun in moist soil, but the foliage colour is more beautiful in shade. Plant it in light, limestone-rich soil that is moist to wet, but not excessively waterlogged as lamium is sensitive to stagnant moisture. It does not suffer from competition from tree roots, which facilitates its establishment.

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.
