With its soft, silvery foliage and wonderfully tactile leaves, Stachys byzantina ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ is a charming addition to the garden, bringing texture and one that I grow in my own borders. Also known as lamb’s ear, this low-growing perennial forms a dense carpet of woolly foliage, with slender flower spikes appearing in summer. Its distinctive silver leaves are particularly useful in floral design, adding softness and a muted, neutral tone to bouquets.

Best for: Cut-flower gardens, foliage for floral arrangements, garden borders, ground cover and adding texture to the garden.

Sowing Tips

Sow seeds indoors in trays filled with a fine seed-raising mix.
Cover lightly with a thin layer of mix and keep consistently moist.
Place in a warm, bright position at approximately 18–22°C.
Transplant seedlings into the garden once they are large enough to handle and the risk of frost has passed. 
Growing Tips

 

  • Plant in full sun in free-draining soil.

  • Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils, as excess moisture can cause the foliage to rot.

  • Allow good air circulation around plants, particularly in humid conditions.

  • Remove spent flower stems and damaged leaves to keep plants looking tidy.

  • Harvest foliage as needed for floral arrangements, selecting clean, healthy leaves and stems.
