Stachys macrantha ‘Robusta’ DHTU0019

Not just ANY Stachys, this is Dan Hinkleys collection from NE Turkey – I saw it in the gardens at Heronswood and fell in love! A robust clump of handsome foliage topped by 12 stems of good sized, full racemes of purple-mauve flowers for many weeks. Substantial, good looking and long lived; this tough perennial deserves a special spot in your garden. A sunny spot in well drained, moist soil will make this baby perform! Deer dont seem to like it and neither do our rabbits. This one is a sleeper and it is bound for fame!
