Stachys Byzantina (Lamb’s Ears) is a hardy evergreen perennial known for its soft velvety silver foliage and low-growing spreading habit. It is ideal for cottage gardens, borders, sensory gardens, and waterwise landscapes where texture and foliage contrast are desired. Its woolly leaves create a soft, tactile feature that pairs beautifully with flowering perennials and ornamental grasses.
Lamb’s Ears thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing exceptionally well in dry and poor conditions once established. It is perfect for edging pathways, softening borders, and mass planting in low-maintenance garden designs. Its silvery foliage provides year-round visual interest while attracting pollinators during its flowering season.
