Betony ‘Hummelo’ | Plant Profile

Betony ‘Hummelo’ (Stacys officinalis) are showy, clump-forming perennials that are valued for their vibrant late summer blooms. The dark green foliage are ovate and glossy. Flower panicles rise above the foliage and hold clusters of tiny purple flowers. The leaves may remain evergreen in warm climates, but are likely to depreciate in the cold Pennsylvania winters.

‘Hummelo’ prefers average fertility, medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun.

‘Hummelo’ can create attractive perennial borders with long-lived blooms. The bright flowers and thick base are ornamental near front yard features such as entryways or mailboxes.
