Description
Stachys byzantina 'Little Lamb' is a charming, dwarf variety of Lamb’s Ears, known for its velvety soft, silvery foliage and compact form. This cultivar maintains all the appeal of traditional lamb’s ears but in a smaller, neater package, making it perfect for borders, edging, containers, and small-space gardens. Its leaves resemble the shape and texture of a lamb’s ear, offering tactile interest and a lovely contrast to green-leaved perennials.
Though primarily grown for its foliage, short flower spikes with purplish blooms may appear in summer. Its drought-tolerance and ability to thrive in heat and poor soils make it a favorite for low-maintenance and xeric landscapes.
