Description
The Lamium maculatum 'Shell Pink' is a decorative variety of spotted deadnettle, which forms compact and dense mats adorned with short spikes of light pink flowers in spring. Its highly decorative evergreen foliage is composed of small green leaves adorned with a silver band on either side of the central vein. This perennial ground cover is easy to cultivate and prefers shade. A beautiful addition to perennial borders, rock gardens, and shaded borders. It also thrives in pots.
'Maculatum' means 'spot' in Latin. Therefore, Lamium maculatum is also called spotted or variegated deadnettle. They share a distinctive feature: bicolor foliage. The leaves are small, semi-evergreen under certain climates, and measure 2 to 3 cm (1in) in length. They are more or less triangular, pubescent, toothed, and wavy, forming a complete carpet that covers the stems. The stems are long, prostrate, slightly raised at the ends, and spread in all directions. They bear small flowers (2cm (1in)) with a hairy calyx that surrounds the corolla tube. The corolla extends into two lips, one upper lip finely hairy, and another lower lip, highlighting the plant's membership in the large family of Lamiaceae. Their silhouette is reminiscent of nettle flowers. The name 'Lamium' comes from the Greek and evokes a throat or gaping mouth.
Deadnettles always make charming ground covers. They require no maintenance (except if the foliage has dried up) and are perfect at the base of a bush. However, their variety of colours, their reasonable and manageable growth (20 cm (8in) tall and a maximum spread of 100 cm (39in)) allows you to integrate them at the front of borders, in ribbons or in small touches, thus varying the foliage and placing them in front of Heuchera or perennial geraniums.
Lamium maculatum 'Shell Pink' pairs well with its shade companions: hepaticas, hostas, Arum, Heuchera 'Georgia Plum', and Japanese Anemone 'Bressingham Glow'. All textures are there to create a harmonious border. However, in a semi-shaded rock garden, at the base of a wall, it also fits among creeping perennials like bugleweed, adding brightness to neglected corners.

Planting and care
The Lamium maculatum 'Shell Pink' settles in place in spring or autumn, or even all year round in moist soil. This plant prefers a shaded or semi-shaded location. Avoid scorching sun.
It prefers substrates that are moist, rich, and humus-rich, but not waterlogged.
Its rhizomatous stump is not invasive; its stems colonizes the space. Therefore, prune them if you wish to limit their growth.
Occasional pruning is necessary if some leaves have dried up.
Attention: gastropods are fond of the beautiful leaves of the dead-nettle, especially in spring. Make sure to protect them, especially when the plants are young and underdeveloped.

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.
