I have an app on my phone called "PictureThis." Snap a photo of the plant in question and the app will search for an image match. You often get several suggested images to compare with your own, and if none of those fit, allows you to post it to other users of this app for name suggestions. This has been very handy when I've been on walks and unsure of a certain tree or plant's name.
Only the true plant though by the looks of it, the one I'm after seems to be a cultivar so I guess it doesn't come true from seed. I just checked my plant tags and the two I bought were 'White nancy' which is also very nice but the leaves are mostly silver rather than just that stripe down the middle and it has white flowers, and 'Golden Anniversary' which has the stripe but the leaves are quite yellow and the flowers are a paler pink. I like the look of the darker green leaves contrasting the silver foliage with the silver stripe matching the stachys. I'm fussy I know

That's nice. Same leaves as my White Nancy but I prefer the flower colour. The only thing I haven't been able to find out is if the fancy lamiums are as good for the bees as the true plants?

WE - I had a yellow flowered version of that in my Belgian garden - deep, fertile alkaline loam - and it was a nightmare to control but not quite as bad as creeping buttercup and couch grass.

Was it a cultivated variety or the native yellow arch angel? There's loads of native white dead nettle in the woods where I keep a lot of my bird boxes but I haven't been able to transplant any successfully yet.
