Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet' – Soft, Silvery Groundcover
'Silver Carpet' Lamb’s Ear is a beautiful and tactile perennial known for its soft, silvery foliage that forms a thick, ground-hugging carpet. Unlike other varieties, this one produces minimal flowers, focusing its energy on dense foliage and excellent ground cover.
Drought-tolerant and sun-loving, it’s perfect for hot, dry spots, edging, rock gardens, or anywhere you want a soft, silvery contrast to greener plants. Its fuzzy texture also makes it a favorite in children’s gardens and sensory landscapes.
