Thompson & Morgan

Introducing Stachys byzantina 'Big Ears', an exceptional perennial that elevates the classic Lamb's Ear with its impressively large, velvety leaves and extended flower spikes. These soft, fuzzy leaves offer a delightful tactile experience and provide a continuous, evergreen appeal in your garden. The gentle greenish tone of the foliage beautifully contrasts with the square stems, which are crowned with clusters of small, pink, woolly flowers that are a magnet for pollinators. This resilient perennial flourishes in sunny, dry conditions, making it an ideal candidate for Mediterranean-inspired or gravel garden designs. Its spreading habit forms a dense carpet that effectively suppresses weeds, positioning it as a superb choice for those seeking low-maintenance gardening solutions. Whether planted in borders or rockeries, 'Big Ears' injects valuable texture, visual interest, and vital biodiversity into any outdoor setting. How to Grow: - Light: Thrives in full sun, but can also adapt to partial shade. - Temperature: Hardy throughout the UK climate. - Watering: Requires minimal watering; it is drought-tolerant once established. - Feeding: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser in the spring. - Humidity: Prefers dry, well-ventilated conditions.
