Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

White Nancy Dead nettle with heart-shaped to rounded leaves of silvery white with green margins. Short spikes of white flowers appear in early summer, reminiscent of ajuga. Grows about 6 inches tall and spreading 12 to 24 inches, by stolon. Wonderful for dry shade areas, particularly when mixed with dead nettles of other colors, ajuga, and hosta. Really lightens up dark corners.
