A very distinctively different form of Stachys, with no noticeable resemblance's to its cousin, Lamb's Ear. Hummelo forms large clumps of dark green, heavily textured leaves.  Plants send up showy spikes of densely  packed lavender-rose flowers.  Hummelo has been on the market for quiet some time now but it is new to us - this is the first year we have grown it and are looking forward to seeing how well it performs.

Plants grow easily in full sun in a rich well drained soil. Fertilize in early spring with a top dressing of compost and bone meal.  Remove faded flower stems to promote longer bloom periods.
