Hi,
Can anyone suggest a quick-growing, flowering, ground cover plant

My

clay soil (although I've added a few trailers of topsoil to help).
The

Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks in anticipation

Charlie,
I imagine you mean Lamium galeobdolon, the Yellow Archangel. Love the
Hobgoblin tag, though!.

WHen I saw the correct name I thought hobgoblin was really funny.
I think it *should* be known as lamium hobgoblin :0)
