About this Plant
Stachys byzantina ‘Silver Carpet’ is a classic lamb’s ear perennial grown for its dense, velvety silver foliage and dependable performance in dry, coastal, and low-maintenance landscapes.
This variety is prized for its tight, carpet-forming habit and its tendency to rarely flower, allowing the foliage to remain the main feature throughout the season. It makes an excellent ground cover, border, or edging plant and performs especially well beneath high-branching oaks.
Highly drought tolerant once established and naturally deer resistant, ‘Silver Carpet’ is an ideal choice for water-wise gardens and sunny to lightly shaded areas.
Garden Uses: Ground cover, borders, edging, under trees, coastal gardens
Growing Conditions: Full sun to part shade · Moderate water · USDA Zone 5
Organically grown and selected for texture, durability, and year-round visual appeal.
