Spotted Dead Nettle 'Orchid Frost' (Lamium 'Orchid Frost') brightens shade with silvery foliage edged in green and soft pink flowers. You can use it as a low, creeping groundcover along paths, under shrubs, or in mixed containers where it will trail gently over the edge.

Give it partial shade to full shade for best foliage and a tidy habit. In cooler climates it can take brighter light, but avoid hot, drying afternoon sun. Plant in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; steady moisture helps it look its best, especially during warm or windy weather.

At maturity it stays compact, about 4 to 6 inches tall, and spreads to form a small mat. Space plants so they can knit together, then pinch or trim wandering stems to keep the edge where you want it. Remove any winter-tired foliage in early spring to refresh the clump and encourage clean new growth.

This cultivar is deer resistant, making it a useful option for shaded beds that need dependable cover and long-season interest. Use it as a filler around spring bulbs, among ferns and hostas, or to soften the front of a border in shade.
