Thanks so much Richard!
I use ‎Lamium maculate, or Dead nettle, around my back porch and as a filler in my perennial beds. It really does bloom the entire summer, one of the first to start blooming in the spring. (Changed my banner & profile picture to it). Use this purple the most, but I also have pink & yellow. Yellow doesn't bloom as profusely. I'm zone 6b (SW PA). This takes full sun as well as shade.
The flowers are beautiful! Thanks so much.
Sage and lavender are my favorites. Coreopsis is another.
You are welcome. There are several different kinds of lavender. I like it all but Hidcote is my favorite for the scent.
Will keep those on my list. Thank you!
