Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Yellow archangel is a lamium cultivar, and is a vigorous, somewhat-clumping, stoloniferous perennial which typically grows 6 to 12 inches high and spreads somewhat rapidly by creeping stems, covering 2 feet or more. Oval, serrate leaves are marbled with silver and have distinctively green midribs and margins. Tiered whorls of small, hooded, yellow flowers (typical mint-family shape) appear in erect, loose clusters rising 12 to 18 inches high from the upper leaf axils in late spring to early summer. Use as a groundcover, in containers, or hanging baskets (though the later will probably not over-winter).
