The best gardens please all the senses, including our sense of touch. Lamb’s ear is one of those extraordinary perennials that feels as good as it looks, with leaves so soft and velvety that you can’t resist stooping down to caress them for the sheer joy of it.
Although this easy-care plant is usually grown for the attractive silvery-gray foliage, some varieties also send up showy spikes of purple or pink flowers in summer. Drought tolerant and fast growing, lamb’s ear is ideal for use as a ground cover, edging a sunny border, or in rock garden plantings. And of course, it’s a wonderful addition to a sensory garden because of its visual and tactile appeal. 15 x 60cm
