Hello Gardeners. Can anyone tell me what this is? Its an absolute bee magnet as you can see from the photo. Thanks in advance
Stachys, a lovely plant common name Lambs Tail, the bees do love it, we have a few dotted around the garden.
Thanks all. Will it grow from a root cutting? I know the person whose house its growing at so will ask nicely if I can take a piece of it.
easy to propagate, just pull a bit off with a bit of root
My wife tells me I am wrong they are Lambs ears, not Lambs tails.
Stachys byzantina.
Stachys byzantina, as Dave says, but sometimes called Stachys lanata. Lamb's Ears.
