Lamium - Orchid Frost
The Lamium 'Orchid Frost', Lamium maculatum, has beautiful oval, silvery edges and bluish green foliage. The short spiked clear, pale pink flowers make it a wonderful ground cover. With a plant height of 6" and a spread of 18-24", Lamium 'Orchid Frost' blooms from May to July. 'Orchid Frost' will grow best in full sun, but will tolerate some afternoon shade in a moist area. Plant in a well-drained soil and do not allow it to dry out. Use Lamium in hanging baskets, in mixed containers, trailing over walls or as an edger, but spread must be controlled. 'Orchid Frost' looks great among Hostas, Ferns, Lungworts (Pulmonaria), bulbs and wildflowers. ... additional information
Japanese Spurge - Green Carpet This evergreen is self-sustaining and always looks well. Once established, a Pachysandra planting will eliminate grass cutting and weeding. Green Carpet is the only satisfactory plant that will grow as a ground cover under Pine trees. This plant is used extensively under large spreading trees, back of buildings or in other situations too shady for grass to grow. It is also very effective as a border plant along paths or driveway edgings. It can be used as a lawn substitute in shaded non-traffic areas. |
