Japanese Dead Nettle

Japanese Dead Nettle  (Meehania)

Japanese Dead Nettle (Meehania) has flowers that resemble those of the common Dead Nettle (Lamium), but they are much larger and also scent. Japanese Dead Nettle forms above ground runners that will root wherever they touch the ground. This makes them very suitable as a ground cover underneath hedges or shrubs. Japanese Dead Nettle prefers half shade in normal to moist soil.
