Hello
This flowering plant grows in the garden and as you will see it has white on the leaves. It reminds me of red and white dead nettle lol. Can anyone give this poor little plant a name please and also confirm whether it is in fact "wild" or cultivated?
Many thanks.    |

the wild one is a lot smaller and without the silvery blotches on the leaves

This is a nice plant but its quite a menace in woodlands see thread: Silver Leaved Archangel - Flower or Menace? |

I can agree with you KeenTeen as we had a small patch in one corner of our garden last year but this year there is a rather large patch. Perhaps we will try and keep it trimmed down a little. | | |
