Commonly known as Lambs’ Ears (Stachys byzantina), the soft, grey, hairy leaves are irresistibly tactile. Pink flowers are optional – there is a variety called Stachys byzantina ‘Silver Carpet’ that is non-flowering. Useful in the garden as a neutral foil for other plants, it provides year-round ground cover that is easy to grow in any well-drained soil.
