Stachys byzantina 'Helene Von Stein'

This form of Stachys is much more tolerant of heat and humidity giving it a wider range of climates in which it will grow. The velvety, wooly, gray-green leaves are nearly twice the size of other forms of Lamb's Ear. A very popular perennial among rose gardeners who often use it to edge rose beds. Sometime pruduces purple flowers, but this selection rarely flowers. Good drainage is essential.
