Planting young plants
From Early Autumn TO Late Autumn
Lamium amplexicaule plants can be grown from seed collected from plants which have produced seed pods after flowering. Plant in full sun in light and recently cultivated, well drained soil. Alternatively, scatter seed in cultivated soil at the growing site in autumn.
