I was given a lambs ear plant in trade and recently found it was'nt THE lambs ears,(stachy?) but someting else. The leaves are the same.but the flowers are different.The stachys flowers grow up a stalk. Mine grow on separate individual stalks with small pink and or white flowers four or five petals. Perennial,self sows.
Could'nt find it in a search.
TIA

I would guess it is a Rose Campion.

Could it be a variety of sage? (What's it smell like?)

I'd also guess rose campion, the description of the flowers/petals doesn't fit Salvia.

Thanks so much. They are rose campion. The seeds were a sure identity. i had searched for fuzzy leaves and only got lambs ears or no hit.
