Lamium thrives in soils with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 so if your soil is very acidic, amend it with lime. Lamium tolerates most soil types, so long as the soil drains well.

Why is my lamium dying?

Lamium struggles to grow well in compacted or poorly drained soils. Unsightly bare patches (often called melting out) may appear in the heat of the summer, particularly in heat or humidity. Leaf scorch may also occur, especially if soils are allowed to dry out or if plants are grown in too much sun.

How do you take care of lamium?

Lamium plants should be grown in partial to full shade to avoid leaf scorching. Plant your Lamiums 12"-18" apart in evenly moist, moderately rich, well drained soil. Water thoroughly but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Apply a balanced fertilizer monthly while your Lamium is actively growing.
