LITTLE LAMB LAMBS EAR


Stachys byzantina 'Little Lamb', affectionately known as Little Lamb Lamb's Ear, is a beautiful groundcover that brings a unique sensory experience to any garden. This compact variety is celebrated for its showy, velvety soft, silver foliage that invites touch and creates a beautiful, luminous contrast against greener plants. Unlike some larger Lamb's Ear varieties, 'Little Lamb' maintains a tidy, low-growing habit, typically reaching only 4-6 inches in height, making it an ideal choice for filling in spaces and softening edges.

Beyond its tactile leaves, 'Little Lamb' also offers a showy display of delicate, light purple flower spikes that emerge in late spring to early summer. These charming blossoms rise just above the silver foliage and are a magnet for butterflies and other beneficial pollinators, bringing gentle activity and life to your garden.

This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating excellent drought tolerance once established. Its resilience, combined with its deer and rabbit resistance, makes it a wonderfully low-maintenance option for rock gardens, borders, pathways, or mass plantings where its distinctive texture and subtle color can truly shine.
