It’s the variegated form of Lamium galeobdolon Common name Yellow archangel

A bit of a spreader but good ground cover in difficult places and under trees etc.

Thank you very much

After it's flowered it'll start putting out long shoots which root where they touch down. They're the ones to cut off if you don't want more of it. Or peg them down where you do want it. It's useful for dry shade.

Thanks very much for the advice Jenny, I knew I had seen it last year and then this year it seems to be everywhere!!
