I hate grass!

It's the cultivated form of Purple Deadnettle, isn't it?
I'm just glad it doesn't die out once spring ends like Deadnettle does.

Just noticed on your website that you live in Culpeper. My Dad grew up on a farm in Culpeper. Love those sheep of yours.

Four of the lambs went to their new homes this past weekend!
Have two ram lambs left.
This is Marshmallow, a little lady I'm keeping back.

I mowed an area near Lamium and caught a piece in the mower. Spouse dumped the grass collector in a hole in the woods. This year there is a growing spot of Lamium about the size of a small bathroom floor. Looks just lovely and it is killing out all the garlic-mustard that had been growing there. Still, I'm not sure I want a wooded area covered in nothing but Lamium.

I have white, pink, and purple flowering Lamium. I've heard there is a yellow-flowering Lamium, but haven't seen it/gotten it yet.

Try sir walter buffalo turf. It performs well either extreme heat, frost or drought. It is low maintenance with a minimal mowing requirements and has the ability to repair itself.

Thyme also is a great option, it can handle moderate foot traffic, low maintenance and smell like lemon. The best time to fertilise is during the spring and summer.

I say make the whole area a BTE garden and grow food and perennials. Easy to maintain after you've got it established and will improve the soil, be useful and also be pretty.
