Lamb's Ears

Photo date: April 2, 2010

For those who don't have a green thumb, I'll recommend to try planting Lamb's Ears. They are indestructible! Just keep coming back! The first year I planted one lamb's ear, I was really concern because it didn't grow much. Just when I wonder if it would come back the next year, it came back STRONG, lots of them! The bees LOVE their pinkish purple flowers.

I don't mind having lots of Lamb's Ears, as long as they don't take over my tiny front garden. I really enjoy stroking the silvery green leaves. They are so soft, it's really like patting a baby animal.

By the way, the picture was taken when the lamb's ears just started to grow after the long winter. That's why they look so tiny. With so many new plants tightly packed, I really don't know what to do with them once they grow bigger. Maybe I can divide them when I have chance. They are so hardy under full sun or part shade, I probably don't need to worry when will be a good time to separate them. :-p
