Stachys 'Summer Romance'
Overview
Betony (Stachys 'Summer Romance') is a fragrant, low-growing perennial. Its soft, velvety leaves are deep green, and its frilly pink and white flowers are a striking contrast. Such striking blooms make Betony a popular choice for both front- and back-of-the-border gardens. This compact beauty thrives in sunny spots and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It will also do well in light shade, making it a versatile choice for many gardeners. Great for cuttings, Betony's blooms look beautiful in containers and bouquets. Deadheading will keep the flowers blooming throughout the summer.
