Why do I always seem to do things backwards? I want my lamium to grow and spread up my steep eastern slope, but it just stays in one small area. I even keep pulling pieces off to plant further up the hill and they never take. I finally gave up and am trying some Sherwood purple phlox and vinca. Don't know if they will work either. Even bugleweed did not survive. I lost my large junipers last winter and need to replace the erosion control they provided. It is no longer sunny there so I don't think I can put junipers in again. Between that and wondering what I will have left after the voles spend the winter in my yard, I am not doing my usual winter dreaming.
