Keeping Lamium Under Control

I want to plant lamium in a narrow (28'x3') bed along the side of my house which will include hydrangea, azalea, astilbe, hosta and some fern. How do I keep the lamium from invading into my lawn and will it choke any of the other things that I'd like to plant? What about caladium bulbs, will they come up?

My lamium is among hostas, daylillies, bulbs and shrubs, and smothers nothing. It has never migrated to the lawn. It is very easy to rip out if you want to remove it, but I've never had to.
