Yes, why not? It'll spread once it's in the soil. You are right...mine prefer a shady-ish place, not right in the sun.

No - you might even be able to split it! Good luck! If it's hot next week - don't forget to give it TLC... lol.

There's one you might like even more. Its called Lamium Maculatum 'Beacons Silver'. As its name suggests, a brilliant silvery foliage. Its flowers are almost identical to the one you have. Yours looks very similar to the wild variety.
