Hi,
Would Stachys monieri 'Hummelo' be a suitable replacement as a fence along a 40 ft border in your front yard?
Depends: Height: Hummelo Betony typically grows to a height of 18-24 inches. It wouldn't provide the privacy or security that a fence offers. Growth rate: While it's a moderately fast grower, it would take considerable time to fill in a 40 ft border densely enough to act as a barrier. Function: Hummelo Betony is primarily an ornamental plant valued for its attractive foliage and flowers. It's not robust enough to serve as a physical barrier or deterrent.
If you're looking for a low-growing border plant for your front yard, Hummelo Betony could still be a lovely option. However, it's important to pair it with a fence or other structure if you require privacy or security.
Hope this helps. Let us know if any other questions.
