Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Prized for its small but colorful cream-edged evergreen foliage, this shade-loving (6"t x 12'w) groundcover will happily grow under trees where grass won?t; produces spikes of cheerful pink spring flowers, too. PSh-Sh/M PP22255

'Pink Lightning' has bluish green and cream variegated foliage that is flushed with pink in cooler weather. Short pink flower spikes, distinctly different from the usual blue, appear in the spring. Bugleweeds are unendingly useful with their variety of evergreen foliage and lovely blue (or pink) flowers. Use them as attractive groundcovers or tumbling out of containers from full sun to full shade!
