Big Ears Lamb’s Ears
Stachys byzantina ‘Helene von Stein’
This excellent cultivar is a tremendous improvement over the species. The leaves are twice as big as the species and it rarely blooms. It is a clump former, and quickly will grow to cover a 3′ wide area. The fuzzy silver leaves are an excellent contrast and its low habit make it a great plant for the front of the perennial border. Holds up very well in hot humid summers. Best in full sun with well-drained soils.
