Variety Profile
Short spikes of flowers are produced from late spring through to autumn but are only part of the ornamental value of these hardy ground covers. Forming low mounds of attractive foliage gives year round interest with silvery white leaves edged in green. Great for general garden use where there is semi shade to dappled light. Also can be used in rockeries or hanging baskets. L 'Orchid Fost' has lilac coloured flowers, L 'Candy Frost' - a lovely shell pink and L. 'Snow 'n' Frost' a crisp white display.

Best suited to a moist but well drained soil. No pruning required although a light trim may be given during early spring to shape at which time an application of slow release fertiliser would be beneficial.
