I recently planted these two beauties in a new bed I am working on. I love the fuzzy gray leaves of Big Lambs Ears (Stachys byzantina Helen Von Stein) in front of the ethereal glow of Spirea Golden Sunrise™. This particular Lambs Ear doesn't bloom at all and the flowers of this newer Spirea are fine. But this foliage combination displays a three-season, full sun feast for the eyes that a gardener of any level can maintain.
