Lamium orvala ‘Album’ (Balm-leaved Red Deadnettle) is a handsome herbaceous perennial forming a neat clump of large, heart-shaped, finely serrated, pale green leaves, up to 6 in. long (15 cm). In late spring to early summer, hooded, creamy-white flowers are produced in multiple whorls around the upper leaf axils. They may continue to bloom sporadically into fall. The foliage remains fresh and good-looking through the growing season as long as there is sufficient soil moisture. A useful plant for shady beds and borders, it can be used in the garden in combination with spring bulbs, ferns and other woodland perennials.
