Yellow Archangel 'Florentinum'

Lamium galeobdolon 'Florentinum' is a vigorous and reliable evergreen ground cover, ideal for tackling challenging dry, shady spots in UK gardens. This cultivar features attractive, dark green leaves with striking silvery-grey markings along the veins, providing year-round visual interest. In late spring to early summer, it produces whorls of cheerful, bright yellow flowers, resembling miniature snapdragons, which stand out against the patterned foliage. 'Florentinum' is exceptionally tough and shade-tolerant, making it perfect for underplanting deciduous trees and shrubs where other plants struggle due to dry conditions. It thrives in most well-drained soils and is fully hardy (H6). Its spreading nature means it's best in areas where it has space to ramble, providing dense, effective weed suppression.
