How to grow Stachys 'Limelight' in NZ

Stachys 'Limelight' grows best in full sun to partial shade and in free-draining soil. Plant it in a sheltered spot to protect the soft foliage from harsh winds. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as it becomes more drought-tolerant. Avoid overly wet or heavy soils to prevent root issues. Trim back after flowering to maintain a compact shape. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keep the plant looking tidy year-round.

Stachys 'Limelight' care tips

Stachys 'Limelight' thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then only during dry periods, as it is drought tolerant. Avoid wet or humid conditions, which can cause leaf rot. Lightly trim after flowering or to shape the plant. Apply mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilising is rarely needed, but a light application in spring can support healthy growth. Protect from heavy frost in cooler regions.
