Lamb’s Ears is a beloved perennial groundcover known for its soft, velvety, silver-grey leaves that resemble the ears of a lamb. Forming a dense, low-growing mat, it adds beautiful texture, contrast, and a soothing colour tone to garden beds. In late spring to summer, it produces upright spikes of small purple-pink flowers that attract bees, though many gardeners grow it primarily for its foliage. This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is highly drought-tolerant once established. It’s perfect for borders, edging, rockeries, cottage gardens, and mass planting, where its shimmering leaves brighten the landscape year-round.
