Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina) http://asaecu.notlong.com/ 22 June 2008 Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina) This plant is grown because it attract bees in large numbers. Don't even think about watering this plant, and it thrives. It does spread by seeds and roots rather profusely.
Lamb's Ears is a garden favorite because of its silvery gray-green color and its very fuzzy, pale foliage. Little children are often amazed by its soft feel. http://cdn-media.gardenguides.com/media/images/000000/04/43/MzA0MTU0_large.jpg http://cdn-media.gardenguides.com/media/images/000000/05/43/MzA1MTU0_large.jpg http://cdn-media.gardenguides.com/media/images/000000/06/43/MzA2MTU0_large.jpg
