Lamb's Ears
This plant is called Lamb's ears because the leaves are soft and furry like a lamb's ears.
Lamb's ears (Stachys byyzantina 'Big Ears') is a plant the Garden included in its study of cultivated varieties of lamb's ears. The Garden is now evaluating the performance of 'Big Ears' and 'Silver Carpet' in a green roof setting. Easy-to-grow 'Big Ears' and 'Silver Carpet' do not require deadheading because they do not bloom, an attractive feature in a green roof setting.
