Spotted henbit
Lamium maculatum
Spotted henbit is a versatile, low-growing perennial ground cover with attractive silver-marked leaves and pink-purple flowers that bloom from spring through autumn. It performs best in partial shade with consistently moist soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a weed-suppressing ground cover under trees. Trim back in early spring to refresh the plant and encourage vigorous new growth.
