Notes
'Little Lamb' lamb’s ear (Stachys byzantina 'Little Lamb') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. 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, evergreen mound, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers from early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plant it where you can enjoy the fragrant foliage.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Green Spice coral bells, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
