This is no bully

Name: 'Hermann's Pride' lamium (Lamium galeobdolon Hermann's Pride')
Zones: 4 to 8
Size: 2 feet tall, spreading indefinitely
Conditions: Partial to full shade; moist, well- drained soil
Peak Time: Late spring to early summer

Unlike the rampantly creeping variegated yellow lamium (L.galeobdolon 'Variegatum'), 'Hermann's Pride' lamium is a slow- growing, clump-forming treasure, which grows like a small bush, beautiful in foliage and flower. Its ever-fresh leaves are jagged edged and etched with silver.
