Stachys lamarckii
Coddled hedgenettle is a woolly, low shrub from rocky mountains of southern Africa, grown mainly for its silvery foliage and yellow late-summer flowers. It needs full sun and very well-drained soil, and it dislikes wet roots and humidity.
Stachys lamarckii, the coddled woundwort, is a species of hedgenettle found in South Africa and Namibia.
Stachys lamarckii is found among rocks in the mountains of the south-western Great Karoo through the Namaqualand to the Richtersveld at altitudes of 600–1,500 m (2,000–4,900 ft). There are records from far-southern Namibia too.
