Lamium

Hardy, adaptable, and showy groundcover that crowds out weeds

Versatile Lamiums form a low, spreading mat that makes life difficult for even the most tenacious weeds. Yet their beautiful, variegated foliage and delicate flower clusters are worth planting for visual pleasure alone. They prefer part to full shade, making them ideal for planting under both deciduous and evergreen trees & shrubs, and in places where lawn grasses struggle from a lack of sunlight.
