Stachys officinalis 'Densiflorus'

Betony-Dwarf

If you like 'Hummelo', try this dwarf version that tops out at just 10" in full bloom. Its appearance is almost identical, but at a smaller scale. Glossy, green foliage is topped with densely packed spikes of vivid rose purple flowers in summer. Perfect for edging sunny borders and pathways.
