Lamium maculatum ‘Purple Dragon’ (Spotted Dead Nettle) is a semi-evergreen, mat-forming perennial noted for its foliage of heart-shaped, silvery-green leaves adorned with wide green edges. Hooded, rich magenta-purple flowers open in attractive whorls at the end of the stems in late spring and continue sporadically into fall. The flowers are larger than most other cultivars. With a long bloom period and colorful foliage, Spotted Dead Nettle is an excellent groundcover for semi-shaded locations. Evergreen in mild winter climates.
