Stachys byzantina 'Primrose Heron'
Common Name: 'Lamb's ears'Striking evergreen mats of woolly, pale yellow leaves in spring and summer which fade greener later in the season. Spikes of magenta-pink flowers appear in early-mid summer but are often clipped off to keep the plants short and tidy. Jun-Aug. H35cm S60cm.
Care Instructions
Easily grown in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun with protection from excessive winter wet. Once established, plants are reasonably drought-tolerant, making this a good choice for ground cover in a dry sunny border or gravel garden and an excellent edging plant. Cut back the flowers towards the end of their season to keep the basal foliage tidy.
