Wonderful for children's gardens! Lamb's Ear is aptly named; its leaves are velvety soft, greenish-silver, and shaped like its namesake. It is a wonderful plant for edging, massed in the front of the border garden, or in containers.

This selection has huge leaves that are at least twice the size of regular lamb's ears. It is listed as a non-flowering cultivar, though it rarely does send up a few small flower stalks. It is reported to be more heat and humidity tolerant than other varieties.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips:
Lamb's Ear grows best in full sun but will also tolerate partial shade. Good drainage is essential for this plant. Without it, plants will rot. Divide every 3-4 years in spring or more frequently if plants become woody in the center. Rake in the spring to remove the dead foliage. Plants are drought tolerant once established.
