Another great selection of Lamium with the attributes that make you love this group of plants: its ability to cover ground in shady or partially shaded areas, its easy care nature, and its colorful look from foliage and bloom that makes it look so much more refined than your normal groundcover. Its foliage is superb with small silver leaves edged in green that form a tight mat and creep along the ground. Short spikes of bud poke above the emerging foliage in April to reveal reddish-pink bloom that lasts well into June to spice up the look of this plant further.

Flashy foliage color is the first thing you will notice about this trailing, spreading groundcover. That and its ability to thrive in shady conditions will combine to make this a plant that is indispensable in your landscape. Foliage emerges in the spring with an electrifying effect in the garden as shades of green, chartreuse, and silver combine to create an early spring wake up call of color. After the foliage fills in, buds form at the ends of stems opening to mauve-pink flowers that sprinkle the plant with additional color throughout May and June. ‘Anne Greenaway’ is easy to grow and covers a fair amount of ground in the front of any shade or partial shade planting. Group it to really show off that amazing foliage or even use it in a container to add a blast of electrifying color!

Beautifully variegated foliage is the real high point of this dependable cover. The spreading groundcover forms a thick mound of green and white foliage with bright yellow flowers that responds well to pruning. Prune regularly to keep the foliage fresh or to direct growth. Great for naturalized areas, under trees, edging or in containers. Prefers moist, well-drained soil in partial shade.

Aggressive growing and floriferous, ‘Catawba’ covers itself with stunning purple, stem ending towers of bloom from July through August. Best in a protected area in the north. Full Sun. Extremely showy summer bloom. Colorful fall foliage. Tolerates drought and hot sun. Outstanding as a specimen or in a grouping.

First Sunrise’ is the product of a planned breeding program conducted by Luit Van Delft of The Netherlands.

A free flowering, fine textured shrub that performs well on borders and tolerates shadier conditions without compromising bloom. Bright yellow blossoms are heaviest in late April to early May but plant will flower sporadically throughout the year. Interesting bright green stems are effective in the winter landscape.

Graceful, upright, and spreading, this specimen boasts profuse, long blooming, extra large 1.5 to 2″ diameter flowers against a background of rich, green, finely serrated foliage. A great border plant for partial shade!

One of the most aggressive growing of the small leaf Kalmias, ‘Tinkerbell’ is a show-off both in form and landscape performance. Upright growing branches spread as they age produce a dense, rounded, bulky presence balanced by delicate foliage which gives a fine textured appearance to the plant. ‘Tinkerbell’ will bud heavily, and deep pink bunches open as pure pink flower trusses in early June. It’s a perfect plant for foundation or for border groupings and a must-have for the landscape. 2003 Cary winner.

A Kalmia with a neat, tidy, densely rounded form, ‘Snowdrift’ is renowned for big bunches of white buds that open to the purest white flower trusses of any Mt. Laurel selection. Dense and compact enough to perform well as a foundation plant, this selection’s form and big, shiny, medium green foliage also make it an ideal selection for grouping and naturalizing.

Showy, deep red flower buds open to deep, pinkish-red flowers that are some of the showiest you’ll see on any of our varieties! Lustrous, deep green foliage and a dense, rounded landscape habit make this selection a superb landscape plant. A Richard Jaynes’ introduction.
