Lamium - Pink Pewter
The Lamium ‘Pink Pewter’, Lamium maculatum, has a beautiful display of dark green, silvery leaves with white centers. The short spiked salmon pink flowers make it a wonderful ground cover. With a plant height of 6” and a spread of 12-24”, Lamium ‘Pink Pewter’ blooms from May to July. ‘Pink Pewter’ will grow best in full sun, but will tolerate some afternoon shade in a moist area. Plant in a well-drained area and do not allow drying out. Use Lamium in hanging baskets, in mixed containers, trailing over walls or as an edger, but spread must be controlled. ‘Pink Pewter’ looks great among Hosta’s, Ferns, Lungworts (Pulmonaria), bulbs and wildflowers. ... get more information
Virginia Creeper The berries are blue-black, less than a half-inch across and much relished by birds. Virginia creeper will thrive in most soils, in sun or shade, with or without a structure to climb on. Virginia creeper is favored for its brilliant fall foliage and as a manitenance-free ground cover. When allowed to clamber over trees or other tall structures, it develops elongated leafy festoons that are especially showy. Where there is nothing to climb, it attaches to the ground with adventitious roots, and makes an excellent cover for slopes or other places where grass is not practical or desired. |
