Lamium maculatum 'Red Nancy' (Spotted Deadnettle 'Red Nancy') is a low, spreading groundcover prized for bright foliage and long seasonal interest in shady beds. You get green leaves heavily washed with silver, plus clusters of rose-pink flowers that add color from late spring into summer, especially where the soil stays evenly moist.

Plant it where you need quick cover without height: along paths, at the front of borders, or beneath open-canopy plantings. This cultivar typically stays about 6-9 inches tall while widening as stems root where they touch the ground, creating a soft, textured carpet.

For best performance, give it partial shade to full shade. In cooler climates it can handle brighter light, but in warm areas it looks best with afternoon protection. Keep the soil well-drained yet consistently moist; dry, hot conditions can cause stress and thin growth.

Maintenance is simple. Shear or trim the mat after the main flush of bloom to refresh foliage and encourage a tidy, dense habit. If the patch creeps beyond its space, pull or edge it back, or lift and divide sections to replant elsewhere.

Pair Lamium maculatum 'Red Nancy' with other shade perennials and woodland textures such as ferns, hostas, heuchera, or spring bulbs. Its silver foliage brightens dark corners and helps visually connect mixed plantings throughout the growing season.
