pruning
Since spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'Dellam' GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY) is a perennial groundcover, light pruning is recommended to keep the plant neat and tidy.

If you need to control the size of the plant, you can trim off some of the stem sections. Over time, some of the older stems may die back and can easily be removed in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
