This is spotted dead nettle, Lamium maculatum 'Pink Chablis'. Dead nettle is a cool season plant, and a native of Europe. The dead nettle pictured here is a commercial cultivar intended for planting, but the non-spotted kind of dead nettle (Lamium purpureum) is a very common weed that probably grows in your garden anyway.
Picture taken November 23, 2009.

There are two places in Purdue Horticulture gardens where this is growing. This spot is beneath the old hawthorn tree.
