Stachys (Betony; Lamb's Ears)

Back to:  Perennial Gallery

We carry two distinct types - both are great filler plants! "Lamb's Ears" have fuzzy, silvery leaves.  The others have corrugated basal rosettes of green leaves and stems of beautiful floret clusters. All prefer well-drained soils. Rabbit resistant. Stachys 'Helen Von Stein' is deer resistant, as well!
