This species of deadnettle (also commonly called yellow archangel) is a stoloniferous, spreading perennial which is most often grown as a ground cover. Typically forms a loose mat of foliage (to 12\ tall) which spreads indefinitely. Ovate to cordate, medium green leaves are usually splashed with silver. Whorls of small, two-lipped, yellow flowers (typical mint family) appear in whorls on short axillary stalks (to 3/4\" long) in late spring. Synonymous with and sometimes sold as Lamiastrum galeobdolon."

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Best in moist soils in part shade. Once established, it tolerates some drought. Spreads by creeping stems and can be somewhat aggressive in optimum growing conditions. Propagate by division or stem cuttings. If plants become leggy, shear back to shape and to promote new foliage growth.
