Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Grows best in a dry to average, or moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Drought tolerant once established, especially when shade from hot afternoon sun is provided. Susceptible to leaf dieback in hot, humid summers; remove these infected leaves as needed. 

Additional Notes about Lamb's Ear:


Leaf shape and texture are reminiscent of a "lamb's ear", hence the common name.
