Lamb’s ear
3,78 $
Lamb’s ears are an herbaceous, woolly, grey-white perennial. Its downy appearance is reminiscent of, surprise surprise, lamb’s ears, or also rabbit’s ears (hence the French name). The lower foliage grows into a rosette from which emerge a 60 cm tall flowering stem. Some gardeners cut off those stems right away for aesthetic reasons, but the nectar-rich flowers are a delight for butterflies and bees. This short plant can be elegantly integrated into floral arrangements as a ground cover or on borders, without being invasive. In Provence, it is called “main de Dieu” (God’s hand) because of its wound-healing and soothing properties.
