Weez - Don't cha just love this one! I got one earlier this year and planted it in a container with a chartreuse coleus and a yellow abutilon. It's really done geat. I hope it's going to be as hardy as they claim.

Yes, Poppysue. I really love this one too! It is such a contrast to the other foliage, and the fact that it grows in shadier areas is a real plus. I bought two small 3-1/2" pots of it this spring with the intention of rooting it for resale, so I haven't wintered it over yet. I think it will do fine, since my other lamiums come back every year. I'll bet lamiums would be great for shipping since you could just cut them and keep the stems wet. They root quite easily in water or even stuck back in the soil.

Lilith: The blooms on mine were quite a surprise, since I had mostly been interested in the foliage. To tell you the truth, I think the combination of lime green, yellow & the lavender blooms is almost offputting!
