Lamium - Golden Anniversary In all but the most severe winters its foliage persists, making it good for winter containers especially hanging baskets, teamed with winter flowering pansies, primroses or polyanthus. The Lamiun, 'Golden Anniversary', Lamium maculatum, is a handsome variety without becoming invasive. Underplant with dwarf bulbs, and chop back whenever stems become invasive.
