Stachys Guillonii Subsp. Hyssopifolia

Stachys guillonii subsp. hyssopifolia is a lesser-known yet striking member of the mint family native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe. This perennial plant is distinguished by its slender, upright stems and clusters of small, violet-blue flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine and subalpine habitats. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles compared to more common members of its genus. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a valuable subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
