Stachys, commonly known as Lamb's Ear, is a soft-textured perennial ground cover prized for its velvety, silver-green foliage. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil conditions, making it ideal for borders, rock gardens, and landscape accents. The distinctive fuzzy leaves create visual interest and tactile appeal in any garden setting. Lamb's Ear produces delicate purple or pink flower spikes in summer, attracting pollinators while adding vertical dimension to planting schemes. Extremely drought-tolerant once established, this hardy perennial requires minimal watering and fertilizing. Perfect for xeriscaping projects or water-conscious gardeners. Its spreading habit makes it excellent for filling gaps and preventing soil erosion on slopes. Plant in well-draining soil and space 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage bushier growth and extend blooming season. A reliable choice for adding texture and color to urban gardens and landscape designs.
