Spotted Deadnettle (Lamium maculatum)

Spotted Deadnettle is a vigorous, shade-loving ground cover known for its ornamental silver-variegated foliage and clusters of pink, purple, or white flowers. Its soft, spreading habit makes it perfect for underplanting trees, edging woodland paths, or filling in shady borders. The foliage adds brightness to low-light areas and remains attractive even when not in bloom.
