Lamb's Ear

Ground cover

Stachys byzantina

Overview
A distinctive perennial ground cover beloved for its incredibly soft, silvery-white fuzzy leaves that children and adults can't resist touching. Dense spikes of small purple flowers rise above the foliage in summer, but many gardeners prefer to remove them to keep the focus on the stunning textural foliage. This drought-tolerant beauty creates beautiful contrast against green plants and glows in moonlight gardens.
Planting
Start from seed indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow in fall. Easily propagated by division in spring or fall.
Growing
Sun: partial. Water: low. Soil pH: 6–8. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 14-21.
Pests & diseases
Common pests: Slugs, snails (rarely due to fuzzy texture). Common diseases: Crown rot, fungal issues in high humidity.
