This is such a wonderful, care free, attractive and long blooming Stachys! I can't say enough good things about it.
I highly favor it over the fuzzy leafed variety, mostly because it still looks gorgeous after rains, and the blooms are always clear and crisp looking.

I'm going to try winter-sowing some of these this winter from seed I collect.

Got this plant as a freebe last year. What a charmer it has turned out to be! I am going to order several to add to my gardens. It will fill the bill for that "spikey" form in the perennial border. Prettier and longer lasting than Liatris.

This is a great all season perennial. Great rosettes of foliage in spring and late into fall and winter. Leaves the spent flower spikes for nice winter texture. This plant does enjoy a little moisture, and in drought years will thin out quickly without supplemental watering. Great combination with Salvia 'Wesuwe', Achillea 'Walther Funcke', and Geranium 'Jolly Bee.' Also makes a stunning combination in early spring with Echinacea 'Sunrise'.
