Stachys byzantina 'Big Ears'

This is an excellent variety which as its name suggests has much bigger leaves than other varieties, and forms a dense clump of felt-like, silvery foliage and has soft spikes of woolly, purple flowers in summer. 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. Cut back the flowers towards the end of their season to keep the basal foliage tidy.
