Lamium galeobdolon (Lamiastrum galeobdolon)--Yellow Archangel

Hardiness Zones: 3 to 10                                    
Height: 1 ft   Spread: 2 ft                                 
Type: herbaceous perennial                                  
Flowers: Yellow

Comments: Yellow Archangel is most often used as an         
outdoor ground cover, however, it is a good subject for a   
hanging pot.  The flowers are produced in clusters but the  
plants are usually grown for the ornamental leaves of the   
cultivars.  Provide a well-drained soil and almost any      
light exposure.  The plant may become invasive.

Propagation: Propagation is by division in autumn or by     
cuttings taken in summer.

Cultivars:                                                  
   'Herman's Pride' - The foliage has silvery markings and  
     the plant has a mound-shape habit.                     
   'Variegatum' - Leaves larger than those of Herman's      
      Pride but also with silvery variegations.
