Over time, the plants will form a dense mat, spreading slowly from creeping underground stems. Showy magenta flower spikes rise well above the foliage in midsummer and are quite attractive to butterflies and other pollinators. Plants are hardy in USDA Hardiness zones 4-8 and appear to be trouble-free. Plants perform best in full sun and well-drained soil. \u2018Hummelo\u2019 was the highest rated\u00a0<em>Stachys<\/em>\u00a0in the Chicago Botanic Garden Evaluation Trials for its strong flower production, vigor, habit, quality and winter hardiness.<\/p>\n<p>The Perennial Plant Association selects a different perennial plant each year to promote throughout the nursery and gardening industry. PPA members nominate plants based on several criteria, including low maintenance needs, adaptability to a wide range of climates, pest and disease resistance, wide availability, multiple seasons of interest, and ease of propagation. A selection committee narrows the field to three or four choices, and then members cast votes.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Perennial of the Year program, see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/perennialplant.org\/page\/PPOY\">https:\/\/perennialplant.org\/page\/PPOY<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Previous PPA Perennial Plant of the Year winners:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2018\u00a0<em>Allium<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Millenium\u2019 (ornamental onion)<\/li>\n<li>2017\u00a0<em>Asclepias tuberosa<\/em>\u00a0(butterfly milkweed)<\/li>\n<li>2016\u00a0<em>Anemone x hybrida<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Honorine Jobert\u2019 (windflower)<\/li>\n<li>2015\u00a0<em>Geranium<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Biokova\u2019 (dwarf cranesbill, hardy geranium)<\/li>\n<li>2014\u00a0<em>Panicum virgatum<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Northwind\u2019 (tall switch grass)<\/li>\n<li>2013\u00a0<em>Polygonatum odoratum<\/em>\u00a0var.\u00a0<em>variegatum<\/em>\u00a0(Solomon\u2019s seal)<\/li>\n<li>2012\u00a0<em>Brunnera macrophylla<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Jack Frost\u2019 (Siberian bugloss)<\/li>\n<li>2011\u00a0<em>Amsonia hubrichtii<\/em>\u00a0(blue star)<\/li>\n<li>2010\u00a0<em>Baptisia australis<\/em>\u00a0(blue false indigo)<\/li>\n<li>2009\u00a0<em>Hakonechloa macra,<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Aureola\u2019 (Japanese forest grass)<\/li>\n<li>2008\u00a0<em>Geranium<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Rozanne\u2019 (cranesbill, hardy geranium)<\/li>\n<li>2007\u00a0<em>Nepeta racemosa<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Walker\u2019s Low\u2019 (catmint)<\/li>\n<li>2006\u00a0<em>Dianthus<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Feuerhexe\u2019 (aka \u2018Firewitch\u2019) (cheddar pink)<\/li>\n<li>2005\u00a0<em>Helleborus x hybridus<\/em>\u00a0(hellebore, Lenten rose)<\/li>\n<li>2004\u00a0<em>Athyrium niponicum<\/em>\u00a0var.\u00a0<em>pictum<\/em>\u00a0(Japanese painted fern)<\/li>\n<li>2003\u00a0<em>Leucanthemum x superbum<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Becky\u2019 (shasta daisy)<\/li>\n<li>2002\u00a0<em>Phlox paniculata<\/em>\u00a0\u2018David\u2019 (garden phlox)<\/li>\n<li>2001\u00a0<em>Calamagrostis x acutiflora<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Karl Foerster\u2019 (feather reed grass)<\/li>\n<li>2000\u00a0<em>Scabiosa<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Butterfly Blue\u2019 (pincushion flower)<\/li>\n<li>1999\u00a0<em>Rudbeckia fulgida<\/em>\u00a0var.\u00a0<em>sullivantii<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Goldsturm\u2019 (black-eyed Susan)<\/li>\n<li>1998\u00a0<em>Echinacea purpurea<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Magnus\u2019 (purple coneflower)<\/li>\n<li>1997\u00a0<em>Salvia x sylvestris<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Mainacht\u2019 (aka \u2018May Night\u2019) (wood sage)<\/li>\n<li>1996\u00a0<em>Penstemon digitalis<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Husker Red\u2019 (beardtongue)<\/li>\n<li>1995\u00a0<em>Perovskia atriplicifolia<\/em>\u00a0(Russian sage)<\/li>\n<li>1994\u00a0<em>Astilbe<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Sprite\u2019 (dwarf astilbe)<\/li>\n<li>1993\u00a0<em>Veronica<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Sunny Border Blue\u2019 (speedwell)<\/li>\n<li>1992\u00a0<em>Coreopsis verticillata<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Moonbeam\u2019 (threadleaf coreopsis)<\/li>\n<li>1991\u00a0<em>Heuchera micrantha<\/em>\u00a0var.\u00a0<em>diversifolia<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Palace Purple\u2019 (coral bells)<\/li>\n<li>1990\u00a0<em>Phlox stolonifera<\/em>\u00a0(creeping phlox)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"row post-bg\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By selecting\u00a0Stachys\u00a0officinalis\u00a0\u2018Hummelo\u2019 as its 2019 Perennial Plant of the Year, the Perennial Plant Association once again continued its focus on pollinator-friendly plants. \u2018Hummelo\u2019 is a compact, clump-forming perennial, reaching 1.5 to 2 feet tall and wide.
