Description
Stachys monieri 'Rosea' is a little known and rarely used betony in our gardens. This cousin of bear's ears, of mountainous origin, has a very different appearance. Unlike the woolly species often used in dry soil, it charms with its lovely summer flowering, in large pale-pink and feathery floral spikes, which stand above a mound of green foliage with a crimped-waffle appearance. The foliage is evergreen depending on the severity of the winter. This hardy perennial grows in ordinary, well-drained but not too dry soil. It offers curious gardeners another way to dress sunny borders and even containers.
Betony belongs to the Lamiaceae family, just like mint and sage. Stachys monieri has its origins in Kurdistan, a country of mountains and high plateaus in Central Asia. It is a medium-sized herbaceous plant, with variable appearance in nature. The 'Rosea' variety stands out with its very beautiful soft pink flowering. The plant measures from 40 to 55cm (16 to 22in) or more in height when in bloom, and forms a uniform conical rosette of basal foliage. The large leaves are ovate to heart-shaped. The bottle-green lamina is glossy, thick, and strongly veined, with a waffle-like appearance. From June-July to September-October, it produces clustered flowers in large and dense spikes at the end of stems adorned with rare small leaves. The flowers are bilabiate, with one lobe, measuring 1.5cm (1in) and gently coloured in pink. This plant slowly forms beautiful clumps, increasing through creeping stems that root upon contact with the ground.
Stachys monieri 'Rosea' will naturally find its place in borders and in rockeries with Onosma alboroseum, campanula, or Antennaria dioica 'Rubra'. It blends well in beds with pink, mauve, or violet flowers, such as echinaceas, monardas, veronicas, Sedum 'Matrona', and Aethionema. It will thrive in wild-looking flower beds, in the company of plants such as comfrey, borage, centaureas, catmints, and asters (Aster cordifolius, A. turbinellus). It adapts to many situations. Plant it at the base of shrub roses or in the company of perennial geraniums.

Planting and care
Growing Stachys monieri is easy. It is a low-maintenance perennial. Plant it in any well-drained and well-loosened soil that is not too dry and not too chalky, in full sun or partial shade in a warm climate. It naturally propagates through its stoloniferous stems. Prune the plant after flowering if you prefer to prevent self-seeding, in light soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
