Notes
'Fuzzy Wuzzy' lamb’s ear (Stachys byzantina 'Fuzzy Wuzzy') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It forms a clumping mound of evergreen, fragrant foliage, and its lavender flowers draw butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Give it room to spread up to 24 inches.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Purple Coneflower coneflower, and Obsidian coral bells.
