Stachys byzantina

Such a hairy plant, likes the sun?

Yes, it does. But, I seem to have several patches of this plant - and I rarely get flowers! The leaves do have a lovely texture, though.

Lovely! We call them "lamb's ears" :)

I have this one too it didnt flower much this year, but I have had the yellow flower and that flowers well.

Yellow, Morgana? Which one is that??

Its the same as this one only it flowers yellow dont know the name I dont even know the name of this one my mum use to call them lambs tails . Next time I see it I will get the name of it for you, as I had the yellow one at one of my previous houses, and when I seen the pink I thought hmmm I ll try the pink this time. here is a link go to the silever carpet one. on this page.

Thanks, Morgana - interesting! I haven't come across the yellow one before.

Lol Sprizhenry I hadnt come across the pink one before until last year and seen it in a garden while taking my grandaughter to school .

It's not exactly great for its flowers Spritz but the foliage is softest grey and makes up for it.

Perfetly true, Linda - and easy to remove when it spread too far!
