Pink Pewter Dead Nettle (Lamium maculatum ‘Pink Pewter’)

Pink Pewter Dead Nettle (Lamium maculatum ‘Pink Pewter’) is a popular shade-loving groundcover known for its silvery foliage accented with green margins and soft pink flowers. This variety provides both colour and texture, making it ideal for brightening shaded garden spaces.

The dense, spreading habit creates an effective groundcover that helps suppress weeds while adding visual interest throughout the growing season. The pink blooms appear in late spring and early summer, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal colour.

In Alberta, Pink Pewter performs best in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates a range of conditions but benefits from consistent moisture and protection from hot afternoon sun. Its trailing habit also makes it suitable for containers and hanging baskets.
