Perennials: Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet'

description for "Perennials: Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet'"

Lamb's Ears are loved for the grey-green foliage and velvety leaves. 'Silver Carpet' is the hardiest stachys that we've seen originate from Europe and Asia. Lamb's Ears are in the mint family and are easy to grow in average garden soil. Many gardeners remove the flowers from Lamb's Ears because they feel they detract from the striking foliage. 'Silver Carpet' is a non-flowering form of the species. Try combining this with the ornamental grass helictotrichon.
