Stachys byzantina 'Little Lamb' (Lamb's Ear)

Stachys byzantina ‘Little Lamb’

‘Little Lamb’ is a compact form of Lamb’s Ear with soft, silvery-gray foliage that adds beautiful texture to the garden and purplish-pink flowers. The fuzzy leaves create a low, spreading mat that works well as a ground cover, edging plant, or soft contrast among brighter flowering perennials.

Its small size makes it especially useful in containers, rock gardens, and the front of sunny borders. The silvery foliage holds interest through the season and can also be used as a fresh cut foliage accent.

Stachys thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and easy to maintain, making it a good choice for hot, dry garden spots.
