Lamb’s Ears
Lamb’s Ears
A few years ago, I visited a garden center called Bluestone Perennials with my sister, Rosemary. They were having a big sale and we loaded up on plants. One of my purchases was called Lamb’s ears.
Lambs Ears get their name from their soft fuzzy leaves. I planted six plants in a Sweet William patch and I am pleased to say that they start blooming when the Sweet William starts to fade.
Lambs Ears can be invasive and some people consider it more of a weed than a plant. For me this means that it is just another groundcover with flowers that lends itself well to a naturalized garden. Bird, bees and butterflies are attracted to it and it is deer resistant.
We need to go back there. All my plants look good except for the ones Mauter killed with the ladder when installing my siding!

I love the purple flower on them.
I have lambs ear too, it’s white and fuzzier than your picture.
I like it for the same reasons you do.

All the nurseries around here are starting to have their end of year sale on plants. It’s one of my favorite things to go to…..
