Woodland carpets of hooded ornamentalsLamium orvala is a clump forming perennial with attractive, heart-shaped leaves and purple-pink flowers appearing in whorls all the way up the tall stems. Flowers are borne from April to June, hooded in appearance with intricately marked paler, speckled throats (not dissimilar to foxgloves or orchids).Great for planting in partially shaded spots and for woodland gardens. Lamium orvala will also happily thrive beneath trees and in amongst other perennials throughout the borders. Native to Central and Southern Europe the nectar rich blooms are a magnet for pollinators. Plants will readily naturalise once established to bring blankets of weed-suppression from March to November. Lamium orvala prefer a spot in moist, well-drained soil with any aspect other than south facing. Drought tolerant once established providing they are planted in part sun to full shade. Fully hardy, herbaceous perennials which reach a height and spread of 50cm.
