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 planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
