Loved for its incredibly soft, silvery foliage, Stachys byzantina 'Lamb's Ear' is a classic cottage garden perennial that brings beautiful texture and contrast to garden beds, borders and pathways. Its velvety leaves form dense, low-growing clumps that complement both flowering perennials and structural shrubs, while tall spikes of soft purple-pink flowers appear during the warmer months, attracting bees and other pollinators.

Perfect for Brisbane gardens with good drainage, Lamb's Ear thrives in full sun and is highly drought tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance and Mediterranean-inspired landscapes.
