Buzz & Bloom™ White Whisper Lambs Ear (Stachys)

(Betony) Crisp white color stands out against the exceptionally dark green foliage of Stachys BUZZ & BLOOM™ 'White Whisper'. Tall stems lined with solid white blossoms rise well above the compact mound. This selection starts its display earlier than many Stachys and produces an impressive number of stems throughout the season.

Growing 14-18 inches tall and 12-16 inches wide, this perennial develops a tidy, upright clump. Its controlled habit stays nicely contained without crowding neighboring plants. Grow this Betony in full sun to part sun and provide well-drained soil. Hardy in zones 4-8, it handles cold winters and returns each spring.

The BUZZ & BLOOM™ Series stands apart for its exceptionally long floral stems. They measure more than twice the length of those found on the popular Stachys 'Hummelo'. Their added length creates noticeable height above the dark leaves while maintaining the plant's compact overall size. This series also emphasizes prolific color rather than the fuzzy foliage associated with traditional lamb's ear.

Bees and other beneficial pollinators frequently visit the white blossoms for nectar. Deer and rabbits generally avoid Stachys, providing an advantage in gardens with browsing pressure. Trim finished stems after the main display to maintain a neat appearance. Stachys BUZZ & BLOOM™ 'White Whisper' is a Proven Winners® perennial.
