Lamium orvala is a striking woodland perennial with large, hooded pink flowers held above broad, textured green foliage in late spring and early summer. Its bold blooms and generous leaves bring structure and softness to shaded borders, making it a great choice for woodland style planting, underplanting around shrubs or filling quieter corners of the garden. Unlike many smaller lamiums, Lamium orvala forms a substantial clump and offers strong seasonal presence without becoming invasive. It brings reliable colour and thrives in cool, moist, partially shaded spots.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once potted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away and water gently if the compost feels dry. Pot the plug into a small pot using fresh compost and keep the compost lightly moist while the roots establish. Once the plant has grown on and the risk of frost has passed, it can be planted into the garden where it will develop into a healthy, long lasting perennial.
