Lamium maculatum 'Beacon Silver'

Common Name(s)
Deadnettle

Is this plant a cultivar?  Yes

Name of Variety, or Name of Cultivar:
'Beacon Silver'

The parent species is native to Eurasia.

Beacon Silver Spotted Dead Nettle has masses of beautiful spikes of rose flowers rising above the foliage from mid spring to early fall, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its attractive oval leaves remain silver in color with distinctive forest green edges throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes:
Beacon Silver Spotted Dead Nettle is a dense herbaceous perennial with a ground-hugging habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This is a high maintenance plant that will require regular care and upkeep, and can be pruned at anytime. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. (Chaletnursery.com)
