Phytopearl is a perennial herbaceous plant of the mint family, also known as Stachys or hare's ears. Its oval-elongated, softly hairy leaves give the plant a silver hue, making it an attractive decorative element in the garden. Bush height can vary from 30 cm to 250 cm, while the width of compact varieties reaches approximately 35 cm, allowing the plant to be used as a background or group element in flower beds and garden plots.
Flowering occurs from June to August, sometimes even in September. Inflorescences are arranged in loose terminal clusters, colored in white, cream, pink, purple, or lilac shades. In some varieties, the flowers have a spear shape with small lavender-colored buds, creating an effect of a lavender field. The flower is usually 0–5 cm in diameter and has a pleasant aroma.
Phytopearl is easy to grow in sunny or semi-shaded areas with moderately moist soil. The plant is undemanding, tolerates drought, heat, and frost well, making it suitable for various climate zones. Care includes rare watering, soil loosening, weed removal, and fertilization with organic fertilizers at the beginning of the season. If necessary, bushes can be divided from midsummer or in the autumn. Due to its resistance to diseases and pests, phytopearl is an excellent choice for those looking for a durable and decorative plant for the garden.
