We have a variegated Lamium with bright pink flowers but have never known
the name of it as it was given to Ray. It's very dramatic and will take
deep shade and if anyone knows the name, we'd be very grateful!


My infallible filing system* reveals:

Lamium maculatum Beacon Silver

Silver foliage but variegated, bright pink flowers, loves shade and
damp. Any good?

* I collect all the labels and stuff them in the top drawer of the desk
along with various lists of plants from places. When vital or essential,
I browse through until I find what I need. Useful search this time as I
also discovered a lost plan of the house extension which I wanted to
build....
