Stachys byzantina Little Lamb (‘Balstaclamb’ PPAF)

Lamb's Ear

One of the most talked about Stachys introductions in years! Possessing fantastic impulse appeal for retail, it’s everything you love about ‘Helene von Stein’ but on a miniature scale. Small, silvery green, felted leaves form a petite, dense mound with restrained spread. Short stalks carry light pink flowers that attract pollinators. Breeder: Darwin Perennials.
