Really nice article and photographs, Tee. Particularly like that fourth one.

Thanks, Debra. Hope all is well with you.

Love the compactness of the plant in these pictures. I also really like the unique gray color and soft leaves.

I have some rose campion that I was told was lamb's ear but have since found out differently. Now I am constantly trying to remind myself what it is I have because I have thought of it as lamb's ear for so long, lol!

Thank you. I am a fan of gray foliage as well. I know how that goes. For me, it's like when they decide to change the name of a plant. I always call it by the old name for a long time - sometimes forever. lol.

Like Gaura. Will always call it that, I think. Besides, who knows how to even pronounce "Oeonthera"?

Hi, I also have a large area of lamb's ears in my perennial garden, I live in Northeastern Pa. When the flower spikes get tall they fall over, especially if we have had a heavy rain. Do you stake yours? Also, I remove the old brown leaves that lay on the ground, every so often, since they are not attractive. I was just wondering if you, also, remove the old brown leaves? Thank you!

I don't have that many flower spikes on the 'Silver Carpet' variety. Yes, I remove the old dead leaves and prune the plants. I just did that. I think I took a photo and will post it if I can find it.

I love Lamb's Ear also for the smell. I don't know the variety I have. Does yours have a scent sort of like apples when crushed or torn?

I haven't noticed much of a scent but I know some of the varieties do have a fragrance.
