Lamium
'Anne
Greenaway'
Spotted Dead Nettle |
ZONE 3-8, HT 6-8", PART SUN/SHADE
The foliage on
this lamium is outstanding! It is a wonderful blend
of chartreuse, silver, medium green and mint green.
The pinkish flowers that appear in late spring to mid
summer just "pop" against the foliage. It is a perfect
plant to brighten up those dark, boring corners of your
shade garden, and fill in holes left by early blooming
bulbs and woodland plants. |

Leptinella squalida 'Platt's Black'
Brass Buttons |
ZONE 4-10, HT 1-2", SUN/PART SUN Tiny, black-green ferny foliage is the attraction on this adorable groundcover. It does have eensy-weensy white button-like flowers in late spring. It prefers moist soil so don't let it dry out. It spreads by rhizomes and we're not sure how enthusiastic it is. Pair with Sagina subulata 'Aurea' for a stunning combo! |
