Stachys minima
(Syn: Stachys spathulata)
Betony-Minature
This miniature perennial makes an ideal edging for sunny pathways and is a cute addition to fairy gardens. It forms a ground-hugging rosette of glossy, dark green leaves topped with loads of bright lavender pink flowers in summer. It's the most floriferous Stachys we've ever seen! A must-try item.
