Plant of the Day
Sunday 9 June 2024
Providing early colour in an herbaceous border is Lamium orvala (balm-leaved red deadnettle, dragon flower, Hungary deadnettle). The clump-forming growth habit of this plant means it remains where it is placed and for best results it grows in a moist, well-drained soil in partial shade.

Plant of the Day
Friday 29 April 2022
The handsome square stems of Lamium orvala (balm-leaved red deadnettle, balm-leaved archangel, dragon flower, Hungary deadnettle) carry pairs of dark, pointed, strongly-veined leaves, beneath each pair is a whorl of pink flowers. This herbaceous perennial fits in with a range of other spring flowering plants, here associated with Myosotis sylvatica (forget-me-not) and Paeonia daurica subsp. mlokosewitschii (Molly the witch).
