Lamium galeobdolon 'Hermann's Pride'

Lamium galeobdolon is less popular than Lamium maculatum due to its tendency to be invasive. This one is behaving itself in a trough in partial shade at the moment, mainly due to having a gutter collapse on it during the winter, leaving me with only the tiniest scrap of root which was still alive. I replanted it and, true to its nature, it has scrambled back to life. I don't mind if it does grow like mad - I hate to see bare soil, so anything which covers the ground is fine by me, and if it's as interesting to look at as 'Hermann', then so much the better.
