Brighten shady spots with Pink Lightning Bugleweed, a fast-growing evergreen groundcover that forms a dense mat of eye-catching variegated foliage. The grayish green leaves feature white edges that create a striking pattern, while spikes of pink flowers add spring color from mid to late spring. Growing just 4 inches tall and spreading 15 inches wide, this low-maintenance variety quickly fills in moist, shady areas under trees, along borders, or between stepping stones. Deer-resistant and attractive to butterflies.
