Stachys Big Ears is a much-loved perennial grown for its soft, silvery-grey foliage that feels just like velvet to the touch. Forming a dense, low mound, its oversized leaves create a bold carpet of texture that looks beautiful edging pathways, softening borders, or filling gravel gardens. In summer, it may produce tall spikes of purple-pink flowers that are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, adding extra seasonal interest. Drought tolerant and easy to grow, Stachys Big Ears is a reliable choice for low-maintenance gardens and brings both colour and touchable texture to sunny spots.
