This form of Stachys is much
more tolerant of heat and humidity giving it a wider range of climates in which it will
grow. The velvety, wooly, gray-green leaves are nearly twice the size of other forms
of Lamb's Ear. A very popular perennial among rose gardeners who often use it to edge rose
beds. Helen von Stein is classified as a non-flowering but does send up an
occasional flower stalk.
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. Avoid late evening
waterings as the moisture often gets trapped between the large leaves and can promote leaf
rot.
