Add an irresistible tactile element to your garden with Stachys byzantina, fondly known as Lamb's Ear. Supplied in 1-litre pots, this classic evergreen perennial is famous for its thick, soft, carpet-like leaves covered in dense, silvery-white woolly hairs. Not only does it provide a stunning shimmering effect in the sun, but it also forms a thick, weed-suppressing mat of foliage that stays attractive year-round. In summer, it produces tall, upright spikes of small, fuzzy purple flowers that are a magnet for bees. It is the perfect choice for sensory gardens, gravel paths, or as a softening edge for garden borders.

Key Features:

• Irresistible Texture: Exceptionally soft, velvety leaves that are a highlight of any sensory garden.

• Drought Tolerant: Once established, it is incredibly resilient to dry spells and thrives in poor soil.

• Evergreen Groundcover: Provides a permanent, silvery carpet that keeps weeds at bay throughout the seasons.

• Pollinator Friendly: The summer flower spikes are highly attractive to bees, especially the Wool Carder Bee.

• Established 1L Pots: Well-rooted plants that offer immediate coverage and a faster start than smaller plugs.

Care & Usage Instructions:
Stachys byzantina performs best in a position with full sun and very well-drained soil. It is essential to avoid waterlogged ground, particularly in winter, as the woolly leaves can rot in excessive dampness. This plant is extremely low maintenance; once the flower spikes have faded, you can cut them back to the base to maintain the neat, mounding habit of the foliage. In early spring, simply pull away any old or tattered leaves to make way for fresh, velvety growth. It is highly resistant to most pests, including slugs and snails.
