Stachys Byzantina

in #photography5 years ago

I went to a new walk in the city garden and saw an unusual plant in its beauty.

This plant is called the Stachys Byzantina, which has very interesting flowers on a long stem and shaggy leaves.

Especially the leaves attracted my attention, because they have certain villi, for which the plant is also called “sheep ears” among people.

Inquiring about the features of this plant, I learned that it is better to plant it in the shade of other plants, but the Stachys Byzantina easily tolerates drought and is unpretentious in growing.

The flowers of this plant are not very expressive and many gardeners cut them off, leaving only leaves for decorating the landscape.

In my opinion, this plant can very well beautify any garden, especially if plant it along the paths in the garden.

I hope you liked and interested these unusual "sheep ears".

I wish you all happiness and good mood!
