STACHYS 'Pink Cotton Candy'

Stachys ‘Pink Cotton Candy’ forms neat clumps of textured green foliage and sends up upright spikes of soft pink flowers in summer, bringing gentle colour and long-lasting structure to mixed or cottage borders. It thrives in full sun or light shade in moderately fertile, well-drained soil, is fully hardy in Irish gardens, and is valued by pollinators. Deadhead spent spikes to prolong flowering and tidy after the main display.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
