Lamium maculatum (Spotted White Deadnettle) is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native throughout Europe, growing in a variety of habitats from open grassland to woodland, generally on moist, fertile soils.
[edit] Origin
Found as a chance seedling in the late 1970s by Phillip Levesley. He named it after the bell-shaped, white-painted monument on a hill at Kerridge near Macclesfield which could be seen from his window in Poynton Cheshire.
