Lamium Orvala...

Purple makes a nice change mine is all yellow ..

That is gorgeous, I didn't know they 'made' them in that colour, do they spread like their yellow cousins?

Resi this is an upright plant, much taller than the other varieties and easy to control, Andrew has one in white!! but it tends to look like a stinging nettle!!

Right I will look out for one, the only problem is that I have almost no shade in my garden, might be a bit tricky. I like a challenge though, I'll find a way..

It is growing in full sun perfectly happily at OBG. On my wishlist now.

Might be perfectly obvious but what's OBG Meanie?

Oxford Botanic Gardens. Not obvious really - sorry!

Thanks, happy to know it does full sun too, I will get it now Meanie.

We have one in shade, and one in sun........thought it was a gonner, after the fencers had trampled all over the borders, we couldn't find it but luckily one had seeded itself in another part of the garden.....
