Stachys angustifolia is a compact herbaceous perennial native to the eastern Balkans and Turkey, producing slender leaves and whorled tubular flowers attractive to pollinators. Grow in well-drained soil with partial to full sun and water moderately, as it dislikes waterlogged conditions. Trim back after flowering to keep the plant tidy and encourage a second flush of blooms.
