Stachys officinalis 'Hummelo' is a standout cultivar of the Betony plant, known for its showy spikes of vibrant purple-pink flowers and lush, evergreen foliage. This cultivar was named after the town of Hummelo in the Netherlands, where it was first discovered. Reaching 18-24 inches tall and spreading 12-18 inches wide, 'Hummelo' forms a compact, mounding habit that makes it a versatile choice for borders, rock gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. The fuzzy, mid-green leaves provide an attractive backdrop to the eye-catching blooms, which appear in early to mid-summer and attract a variety of pollinators to the garden. Undemanding in its growing requirements, Stachys officinalis 'Hummelo' thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Its drought tolerance and deer resistance further enhance its value as a hardy, low-maintenance perennial for sustainable landscapes.
