Many Stachys are great additions to various garden types, and ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ is no exception. It is a bit more upright, and smaller in leaf than ‘Big Ears’, forming a dense carpet of woolly, silver-green foliage. In late spring it sends up silvery-white flower stems that give rise to deep violet flower spikes. A low maintenance ground cover, fun addition to a sensory garden, or an easy way to add texture to a perennial border, ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ pairs well with other perennials.
