watering
Water spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'Beedham's White') deeply (about 2 inches of water) twice a week during its active growing season. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In the winter, the plant should be watered only when the soil is completely dry. It’s important to ensure the soil isn’t too soggy. Too much water can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'Beedham's White') grows best when given full sun to partial shade. In areas where the temperature is consistently warm, it can tolerate full sun with a minimum of 4 hours per day. Ideally, plants should be placed in an area that gets at least 6 hours of sun for optimal growth and blooming. During the hottest parts of the day, it is recommended to provide some shade or thin canopy coverage as protection from direct sunlight and heat. When grown in lower light or too much shade, the foliage may become thin and moldy.
pruning
For best results, prune Spotted Deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'Beedham's White') early in the spring before new growth appears. Prune down to the desired shape and size by removing any dead, damaged, or spindly growth. Depending on your desired form, you can cut the dead nettle back to the ground, or you can leave some foliage on the plant to encourage a bushy form. Prune any flowers that appear after mid-summer to help maintain a neat and tidy appearance.
