Lamb's Ear

Lamb's Ear is a charming and resilient perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to the Caucasus region, Armenia, and Turkey. It is widely celebrated and cultivated for its distinctively soft, thick, and velvety textured foliage that closely resembles the ears of a lamb. The leaves feature a dense coating of fine, silvery-white hairs that not only provide an incredible tactile experience in the garden but also help the plant conserve water in dry conditions. Producing spikes of small, purple-pink flowers during the summer months, this versatile ground cover thrives in full sun and well-draining soils, making it an absolute favorite for sensory gardens, borders, and rockeries where its unique visual and textural contrast stands out beautifully among other green plants.
