Field Notes
Description:
Although grown more for the texture and color of its foliage than for its bloom, lamb's ears does produce light purple flowers on tall spikes. Its texture can best be described as "velvety." Lending further interest to the foliage is its silvery color. The flower spikes reach 12"-18" in height, but the rest of the plant stays much closer to the ground.
Habitat:
Grow lamb's ears in full sun in northerly climes. In desert areas, though, it can profit from partial shade. This perennial flower thrives in poor soil that is well-drained.
