Stachys byzantina, popularly called Lamb's-ear, is a herbaceous, perennial plant that is part of the Lamiaceae family. It stands out for its silvery, tomentose leaves, while its drought-resistant perenniality, as well as its quick ability to cover the ground, make it ideal for the use in various landscaping projects (for example, rockeries). Although Stachys byzantina is grown more for the texture and color of the leaves, it can occasionally produce light purple flowers.
