Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet' - 2026

Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet' is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial prized for its soft, woolly silver-grey foliage that creates a striking, textured ground cover. In summer, it produces spikes of pale pink to lavender flowers that rise above the foliage, adding subtle seasonal interest and attracting bees and other pollinators. Its dense, evergreen habit makes it ideal for borders, rock gardens, pathways, and as a low-maintenance ornamental ground cover.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet' is hardy and low-maintenance. It tolerates dry conditions once established and benefits from occasional trimming to maintain a neat appearance. The combination of its unique silvery foliage, delicate flowers, and wildlife value makes it a versatile and visually appealing addition to a wide range of garden settings.
