Lamium 'Red Nancy'

I agree...Its so pretty....

Is that the same plant as dead nettle?

Yes, but the cultivated kind. :-)) They're really useful ground cover in shady places.

Love them, would not like to be without this plant.

It spreads a bit too much, but at least it's not a thug like L. galeobdolon. :-(

Oh noooo.......!!

After all that HARD work last year, and in spite of valiant efforts from 'my gardener', it's creeping back. It has had a warning - next year, I'll be back dealing with it! Grrr.....

I had never heard of galeobdolon until now, but I sure as heck know of the thuggish behaviour of it. That is the stuff I've been trying to remove for 3 years. Think it came in, hidden in a shop bought plant. What a menace!

It really is!!! I'm so sorry you've got it. I've seen it for sale at Garden Centres! It ought to come with a health warning - in large red letters on the pot and label. :-(
