Lamium maculatum 'Purple Dragon'
Dead Nettle
Plant Type: Perennial
A notable Dead Nettle selected for having the deepest purple flowers and with a shape as most similar to a snapdragon flower. Dense clusters of the rich purple flowers sit above the silver foliage edged in green during late spring to early summer. Although prefers moist well-drained soils in partial to full shade this selection is considered by some to tolerate more drought than others.
