Stachys byzantinav (Lamb’s ears )

Stachys byzantina (Lamb’s Ear)

Add soft texture and silvery contrast to sunny garden spaces with this classic perennial. Lamb’s Ear is known for its fuzzy, whitish-gray foliage that forms a low, spreading mat—perfect for edging, groundcover, or weaving between brighter blooming plants.

Rosy-purple flower spikes rise above the foliage in season, adding a gentle pop of color while keeping the plant’s soft, relaxed look. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a great choice for dry, sunny borders and cottage-style gardens.

This easy-care perennial is also deer resistant, making it a reliable option for many landscapes.
