Description

This hedge nettle is native to moist spots in much of California. A good plant to put under the bird bath, in a dryland garden. Stachys albens will increase by rhizomes to the edge of the moist spot. Some companion plants are Salix lasiolepis, Rubus ursinus, and Carex barbarae. The fuzzy foliage is much like lamb's tongue or a grey velvet. Hummingbirds and butterflies like. Excellent for a rock stabilizer in the drainage ditch, this plant can turn a ditch into a stream bed'.
