Reading about the plant it says it does back in the summer... this never died back. It's still looking full and in bloom. I'm confused. |

Definitely a Lamium.

It looks like Aureum is golden with more sunlight and greener in the shade. Mine is growing on its own in the perfect spot. |

Some folks think of lamium as an undesirable invasive. I like it, and have not found it to be unmanageable. On the other hand, my son (an hour south of me) has a very aggressive form of it that has largely taken over an entire side of his house, so I can see choosing the right cultivar is likely key. His has a larger leaf and yellow flowers, mine all have purple or white flowers. Much better behaved than his... I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned. |

The only kind of plants out here that are invasive are plants that can survive well in a desert dry climate. If I want a plant to back off all I have to do is stop irrigating water to it before it gets to that point. Just water by hand those I want to live.. the rest will crumple and die. |
