Question

The white deadnettle is Lamium album; the red deadnettle is Lamium purpureum. Would you expect these two plants to cross-pollinate successfully?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A bunch of white dead-nettles can look good in a vase, especially after cutting some of the leaves to reveal the flowers. The flowers and young leaves are edible, and can be used in salads or cooked as a vegetable.

Answer 2

Answer:

Although both plants are in the same genus (Lamium), they are different species (album and purpureum) so you would not expect them to cross-pollinate successfully.
