Expert Gardener 2QT Silver Stachys Live Perennial Plant Sun 3 -Pack

Stachys is commonly known as Lamb’s Ear for its large, velvety-soft, silver-gray leaves. While it does bloom in summer with tiny flowers, it is most favored for its distinct foliage that complements many colors and textures in perennial or cottage gardens. It can also be used as a groundcover as it spreads quickly. It grows well in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. It can also be grown in containers to add interest and texture. Plant this vibrant foliage grouped together in garden beds or combine them with other annuals and perennials for a mix of seasonal color.
