I planted some lamium under my hibiscus, and it is like the caterpillar buffet. Pretty chewed up. Have you had any pests in your lamium? I sprayed it once, and it controlled the problem for a time, but I haven’t kept up regular maintenance against the caterpillars (which are small, green, look like what apppears on my basil also) — I’m sort of not into high maintenance underplantings, and a little disappointed that the lamium appears to need regular pest control.

Fern, great choices! I think they’d look lovely together and you are right that they’d do well in dry (-ish) shade.
