watering
Water the spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy') regularly, once a week when the top inch of soil is dry. When the weather is hot or windy, increase the frequency to twice a week. Be sure not to over water, as doing so can lead to root rot. Use a watering can with a long, thin spout to apply water directly to the soil around the plant. Water deeply, giving the plant time to absorb the water.
sunlight
Spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy') grows best in full sun or partial shade. In areas with ample sunlight, it should be given at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. If planted in more shaded areas, growth can be maintained with 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight. Although spotted deadnettle tolerates light shade, bright light will produce more vibrant, faster-growing plants and better flowering.
pruning
When it comes to pruning spotted deadnettle (Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy'), it’s important to remember that the most beneficial time to prune is at the end of the growing season (late fall or early winter). At this time, gardeners should remove any dead or damaged foliage, as well as any foliage that looks old or tired. When it comes to how much to prune, it’s important to remember that spotted deadnettle grows in dense patches of foliage, and it’s best to avoid removing too much foliage at once. To make sure that the plant doesn’t become overly thin or sparse in 1 area, it’s best to only prune back 10-15% of foliage at a time. This should help ensure that the plant continues to look lush and full with minimal pruning.
