Ajuga, the bugle, with blue flowers in spring and summer Bergenia, the winter-flowering 'pigsqueak' with elephant-ear leaves and pink blooms Brunnera or Anchusa, with small blue May flowers Euphorbia robbiae, one of the cultivated spurges, flowering yellow or green, also in May Hostas, one of the most effective shade plants with variegated and white or mauve flowers Iris foetidissima, with purple flowers in June and red seeds
Lamium maculatum, one of the dead-nettles but attractive for all that.
Lamium maculatum "White Nancy", "Pink Nancy" and "Silver Beacon" form dense mats of spreading foliage, prettily variegated with silvery white.
Lamium Maculatum forms a dense semi-evergreen mat that hugs the ground and smothers weeds.
This year, snowy white 'Maureen' and maroon 'Queen of the Night' tulips echoed a backdrop of plum-colored Loropetalum chinense, flowing in a ribbon between rows of existing shrubs and perennials such as Ballota pseudodictamnus and
Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy'.
They left wide strips between large (2- by 2 1/2-foot) slabs of Arizona flagstone for planting, and filled the spaces with giant ajuga and
Lamium maculatum 'White Nancy'.
They include basket-of-gold (Aurinia saxatilis), dead nettle (
Lamium maculatum), diascia, evergreen candytuft (Iberis sempervirens), geranium, nepeta, rockcress (Arabis), Santa Barbara daisy (Erigeron karvinskianus), Serbian bellflower (Campanula poscharskyana), and Swan River daisy (Brachycome multifida).
