Delightful Lamb's Ear is a perennial heirloom plant with incredibly soft, silvery velvet foliage that adds a unique texture to your garden. Its leaves, reminiscent of a lamb's ear, have inspired its common name. Its attractive, fuzzy leaves can reach up to 4 inches long, forming a low mat of green-gray that remains attractive throughout the season. This plant is drought-tolerant, and it's perfect for xeriscaping. The silvery color also creates a stunning contrast with other plants and flowers, making it an excellent choice for edging or ground cover. A charm for children and a soft touch in your garden, Lamb's Ear is an irresistible addition to any outdoor space.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart, and provide full sun to partial shade. Lamb's Ear prefers well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Water regularly but avoid overwatering, as the plant is susceptible to root rot in overly wet conditions. Deadhead flowers to encourage more blooms and maintain a neat appearance.
