Lamb’s ears. Low-growing perennial to 18” with soft, woolly gray leaves distinctly shaped like a lamb’s ear. Flower stalks develop in early summer and carry many whorls of small, mauve-pink flowers. Cut stalks back as flowers fade. Established plants tolerate heat and drought but are better with some summer water. Useful as edging, border plantings, and groundcover under high branching oaks. The leaves turn to mush in cold weather and humid, wet conditions. Hardy to below 0F. Caucasus Mountains to Iran. Deer resistant. Hardy to 0F.
