Woundwort

From LoveToKnow Garden

Woundwort (Stachys) - The common S. lanata, a woolly-leaved plant used for edging, thrives in any soil. S. coccinea is a rather pretty perennial with spikes of red flowers about 1 foot high, and succeeds in a partially-shaded border anywhere in the south. Coming from Mexico, it is not hardy everywhere. S. grandiflora, from Asia Minor and Siberia, is a neat downy plant with showy spikes of reddish-purple or rosy flowers from May onwards, sometimes used in the rougher parts of the rock garden.
