A plant that kids and adults alike just want to reach out and touch, 'Silver Carpet' Lamb's Ear that forms a quick spreading carpet to about 6 inches high of thick, soft and velvety silver leaves that resembles a baby lamb's ears. The leaf color and texture of this plant contrast beautifully with both foliage and flowers of most other types of plants. Thrives in well-drained and even dry soil and full sun, but might appreciate a little filtered sun or shade during the mid afternoon in hot and humid climates.
Growing 4 to 6 inches tall and spreading to form a lush carpet to 24 inches or more wide, Silver Carpet Lamb's Ears is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings or as a border along paths and walkways or in landscape borders and perennial gardens. A fine addition to perennial gardens, cottage gardens, white or silver theme gardens.
