This herbaceous perennial, commonly cultivated for ground cover purposes, features silver foliage with green margins and produces pink to purple flowers. It belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is known for its rapid spread and adaptability to various light conditions.
Its primary benefit lies in its ability to suppress weed growth while simultaneously adding visual appeal to gardens. Furthermore, it attracts pollinators such as bees, contributing to a healthier garden ecosystem. Historically, plants within the Lamium genus have been used in traditional medicine for their purported anti-inflammatory properties.
