I absolutely love this plant. It smells wonderful, I do think the smell is "Scentsational".
and it looks so soft and lovely in the landscape, and the best thing about it is that it lends itself to crafting. I have made many wreaths with Lamb's Ear, and I even made small bows with the leaves.
It is a fantastic plant for a kid's garden.

Terri, 'Helen von Stein' variety has bigger leaves and does not bloom for years. Maybe that variety would be better for your gardens.

My sidewalk was lined with LE when we lived in TN and when the humidity was high it turned brown and rotted. Ugh!

Hey, Terri, do you have crafters in your Mid Atlantic Garden Circle? They can use the bloom stalks to make wreaths. Those pom-pom looking stalks can fill a wreath form in no time. Lovey dubby .

The lambs ear I have is Helen Von Stein. I grew it from seed many years ago - one of my few successes with seed starting.

There are a few crafters in the Mid Atlantic group, but they do things like beading, jewelry, polymer clay type stuff - not much with dried flowers or wreath making.
