Ground Cover ID?

A lot more googling around answered the question; they're called lamium. We have a bed of them under the big oak tree out front, and I was going to transplant a few to the gully along the road, where I can't mow. Unfortunately, they don't grow well in direct sunlight, so that wouldn't work.
any of the thymes we grow would work for that.
the nicer benefit is that they smell nice when
you weed or trim them (if you mow them start with
a cleaned mower and set the blade up high, do
once a year to get the dead flower stalks and it
neatens them up).
hens and chicks also work for rocky spots where
you can poke some in the gaps if there's just a
bit of dirt, but the deer seem to enjoy eating
these...
