Stachys byzantina, Stachy's lanata <br>WOOLLY LAMB'S EAR
Lamb's ear is a commonly grown plant for children's gardens, as it is easy to grow and the thick felt-like leaves are fun to touch. They are named lamb's ears because of the leaves curved shape and white, soft, fur-like hair coating. Lamb's-ear plants are perennials, usually densely covered with gray or silver-white hairs. The leaves are thick and somewhat wrinkled, densely covered on both sides with gray-silver colored, silky hairs. Flowering stems are erect and often branched, producing pink flowers which contrast nicely with the silver-gray foliage. The flowering spikes are 10-22 cm long, each have many flowers and are crowded together over most of the length on the stem. Lamb's Ears are drought tolerant, and easy to grow even in poor soils. Grow in a sunny location.
