Lamium ‘Aureum’ is a tough yet eye-catching perennial that instantly brightens shaded garden spaces with its vibrant foliage.

The semi-evergreen leaves are a striking chartreuse yellow accented by a clean white midstripe, creating high contrast even in deep shade. In spring through summer, rose-purple flowers emerge above the foliage, adding an extra layer of seasonal color.

This adaptable ground cover roots as it spreads, forming a dense, weed-suppressing mat. It is tolerant of drought, deer, rabbits, clay soils, and coastal conditions, making it a dependable choice for low-maintenance gardens.

Best grown in part shade to full shade with moderately moist soil, ‘Aureum’ is ideal for ground cover, containers, hanging baskets, and brightening dark corners. Avoid direct sun, as foliage may scorch.

Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to bring bold color to your shade garden.
