Lamium maculatum 'Aureum'

A ground cover of brilliant yellow that will create a brilliant carpet in moist, part shade areas. Only a few inches tall, this perennial is dense enough to smother most weeds; I liken its spreading ability to Ajuga in the garden. A single plant will eventually cover a 3’ square area. Lavender flowers show off nicely against the bright foliage late spring early summer. Evergreen for us, looking great even in winter, but we do shear it back once in a while to keep the foliage looking perky. Also makes a superb bulb cover. Will cascade and spill over rocks and from pots.
