Stachys byzantina ‘Primrose Heron’ is a distinctive lamb’s ear perennial valued for its soft, yellow-toned woolly foliage and reliable performance in dry, coastal gardens.

This drought-tolerant and deer-resistant plant forms a handsome clump that works beautifully as a border, edging, or ground cover. It performs especially well beneath high-branching oaks and in mixed perennial plantings.

In summer through fall, upright stems rise above the foliage carrying pinkish-purple flowers that attract bees and butterflies, adding seasonal interest without overwhelming the plant’s elegant foliage.

Garden Uses: Borders, edging, ground cover, under trees, pollinator gardens

Growing Conditions: Full sun to part shade · Moderate water · USDA Zone 5

Organically grown and selected for texture, resilience, and soft color—an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes.
