Lamiastrum are rapidly spreading. This plant offers gardeners one of the easiest solutions to dry shade areas and is great for mixed containers and tubs. Care should be taken to avoid planting in areas where this plant could 'escape' into the wild - particularly wooded areas. This plant is prohibited in both WA and OR states.
Shear back to 4 to 6" if it gets leggy or cut back to new leaves at base of plant in midsummer. Can be divided as needed in spring or fall. Will self seed, but seedlings may not grow true to parent. Avoid dry soil with full sun.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
