Deadnettle Very similar in appearance to the stinging nettle, white dead nettle is a smaller plant with white snapdragon-shaped flowers. Consider leaving the plant to grow if it is in an unobtrusive spot: The plant is very important to bumble bees emerging from hibernation because it has huge amounts of nectar and it flowers before just about anything else. How to kill dead nettle: Chemical Options: It will need a strong dose of Glyphosate based weed killer. Organic Options: Deadnettle is easy to pull or dig up but wear gloves: a large white dead nettle patch will invariably contain one real stinging nettle, which you fail to notice if you get carried away weeding, and contrary to the old saying, "grasping the nettle" really does hurt.
