Stachys officinalis 'Pinky' - 2026

Stachys officinalis 'Pinky' is a clump-forming perennial admired for its aromatic green foliage and upright spikes of soft pink flowers that bloom from mid to late summer. The dense flower spikes rise above the foliage, creating vertical interest and a vibrant display in borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing both ornamental charm and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, Stachys officinalis 'Pinky' is hardy and low-maintenance. Regular cutting back after flowering encourages fresh growth and helps maintain a neat, compact habit. Its combination of colourful flowers, structural form, and pollinator appeal makes it a versatile and rewarding choice for gardeners seeking summer colour and ecological benefit.
