Overview

A silvery-grey foliage, semi-evergreen herbaceous perennial for ground cover. Soft spikes of woolly, purple flowers from June to September above rosettes of large, greyish white, felted leaves. This form of lamb's ears is primarily grown for its leaves, which are larger than other varieties. An excellent groundcover plant for sites in full sun, it's drought tolerant and provides a weed-suppressing carpet for much of the year.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: well-drained, moderately fertile soil
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Flowering period: June to September

Care guide

Ensure good drainage when planting as the plant can die back in heavy, poorly-drained soil. Give it space to spread out. Cut stems back to ground level in autumn and apply a generous mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. Divide large clumps in early spring. Once established it's reasonably drought tolerant, so will be happy in a dry, sunny site, or gravel garden.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
