Lamiums are excellent, vigorous groundcovers, particularly in dry shade, an environment that can be challenging. 'Pink Pewter' has glistening silver and green leaves and shell-pink non-stop flowers. This is one of the great ones for brightening a shady corner.; Ellen Eisenberg, Zone 5, Best Selling 4th Edition Now Available! Now only $15.95 USD $17.95 CDN More info
