Stachys byzantina 'Primrose Heron' (Lamb's Ears)

This variety boasts fuzzy-textured leaves that reach 4-6 inches in length and have a vibrant yellow-green color in the spring, maturing to a lighter shade of green in the summer. Its growth is dense and it readily spreads through surface runners. The flower stalks, standing at 1-1 1/2 feet, produce small purplish blossoms that some gardeners choose to remove in order to maintain focus on the foliage.
