I love the Plant Profile Playlist idea! So original and interesting
I love my Helen Von Stein lambs ear that I have planted around my coral bark maple with Japanese yews and salvia. It gets huge and lush and beautiful. It is one of the best plant it and forget it plants around my garden here in North Texas. Love that you go into detail about the plants in this series so gardeners in other zones know what to expect oof it in their zones. Your gorgeous espalier background is to live for! I am going to try creating one here one day. Will have to watch your tutorials on doing that again! Thanks, Janey!
Thanks for posting. I’m in zone 9b as well but still on the fence. I have a few neighbors with them and most look terrible due to lack of maintenance. I’d love to surround my side walkway but one side doesn’t drain well. I think I’ll wait until next year now that the days are becoming shorter. Plus there’s a hiking trail in front of my house that blocks the sun even more during the winter months. They do look wonderful.
Morning Everyone 🙂 I love the Lamb's Ear and your background is stunning Janey 🙂
Interesting. I’m going to give it a go. I’m in Scottsdale AZ, zone 9b. It can be brutally hot here, extremely dry … sounds like your story, huh?
I live in a sea of cacti, euphorbias and tough as nails sages. I would be one happy girl if this plant could be happy here. Thank you.
I had lambs ear pop up in my garden because it is a natural wild plant where I live. It is beautiful! Ty for this!
I learned that plants in the mint family have a square stem
I LOVE my lambs ear!!! I let them go to flower as well. So pretty and soft. One of the few things that survived this California heat! 🧡❤️💜💙💚
I’m loving these plant profiles! Helen von stein is my son’s favorite plant, he wants a new one every time we go to the plant store. It just adds so much to our garden, especially with the mystic spires. Thank you so much for sharing, I would have never have thought to add these and I’m so happy I did ☺️ Hope you guys are staying cool in this heat!
Lamb’s ear is so beautiful. You are absolutely right about not planting it if you are in a humid area. I have tried it several times and it rots. I have had some success by growing it in a pot that I can take it in if it rains a lot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Have a wonderful day.
Hi Janey!! I learned of this plant from you! THANK YOU! 🌱 I now have it in my garden as well. I bought 3 this Spring/Early Summer and it's gotten HUGE!! I've already divided it where 3 is now 4, and I'm going to divide them again this fall and will end up with about 8 just from the 3 I purchased. I love that they are just a beautiful foliage plant without the added work of deadheading any spent blooms.
I agree 100% with this video!! Love lambs ear! It's funny because new gardeners will ask me what plants they should plant and I say start with salvia, lambs ear and lillies (usually daylillies). I live in the south, 8b and mine stands up great even in our humidity. I don't irrigate, just clean it up from time to time and it flushes back out beautiful again EVERY TIME! Once this year, I added fertilizer and it suffered. So funny that it thrives with neglect. Loving this series! 💚
I have my lambs ear plants, planted just below my azalea bushes, in the same bed with blue salvia and peonies. It adds a lot of contrast and beauty to the area. We just had several days of rain (6b, New England) which we needed badly, so I better check to see how my lambs ear plants are doing!! Great video!!
Hi Janey, Love the plant profile series. I'm definitely going to try this plant under my roses! Thank you for the great information!
Such GREAT info! I’m getting this for my garden now to be a compliment plant to my salvia and roses. I love your plant profile videos! Please keep doing them!
Also my favorite! Great video- answered the question I had! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for giving us the vast information on this lovely plant. You are so knowlegeable on this perennial; Amazing. Enjoy the rest of your day. Once again thank you.
Oh OK, that’s why that wonderful plant doesn’t do well here in my zone 9B, Florida. We have so much humidity it tends to rot very easily. Boo
I live in zone 8a, southeastern NC. We are very humid, so I guess no Helen von Stein lamb’s ears for me. Good to know.
Same here! This answered a big question I’ve been having!
North Georgia, zone 7B. Not quite as warm as you, but very humid and lots of rain. My Helen Von Stein’s bottom leaves almost disintegrate when we get a week or so of rain. Fortunately they bounce back fairly quickly, so I guess I’ll keep them for another year or so to see how they do.
Done like a true pro!! 🤩 love it! I have had my eye on this plant in your garden all summer! I don’t know if I can even get it in my land 😆 but I love it xx
I love my Helen Von Stein's Lamb's Ear. They are so easy to grow and love, love our very hot, dry climate. I really like the hedge idea! I think I might do that! Thanks for the info. I really like these plant profiles and look forward to future profiles. 🌿M
LOVE love this plant! Just wanted to throw a plug in here... I live in the South, central Mississippi (zone 8), with LOTS of water and humidity all year around and Helen Von Stein still does fantastic for us here! :)
I love this series! Thank you.
Oooh, what a great idea! Plant Profile Playlist - awesome!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you! This was perfect timing as I just picked up my first HVS. 😍
A definite contender for my 2023 garden. Loving your plant profile series, hoping it has cooled down in your area somewhat and you can get back into your garden.
Hi Janey, I love your plant profile series! I will give this plant a try in one of my gardens .💐❤️🇨🇦
Great video. Love this plant. To avoid it spreading, could you leave this plant in a pot in the outdoor garden???
I love lambs ear I just added them to my garden, Thanks Janey
I love that plant too! (I love most of those fuzzy silvery plants, actually!) How long are you running your irrigation for - you mentioned what type of emmitter but I'm curious what works for your yard since we're the same zone.. (obvs temps & wind will affect that as well.)
I love these and they grow fast. I have two of these flanking my patio in pots. Right now I have shade cloth over them because of this crazy heat. In a pot they like a bunch of water. I love them and look forward to cooler weather.
LOVE THIS
Thank You 😊
Nice sharing thanks friend!
Love this plant!
I love this series! I am in NE Ohio, zone 6A. We have very hot and humid summers.
I really like your plant profile videos. The only thing I believe could be added would be light requirements for each plant. Thanks for sharing!
I just planted 5 of these in my raised bed because of you. Trying not to over water 😂
Great advice.. mine must be very happy. It’s so out of control we were going to pull it up.
Great video Janey! Thanks for so much info and for adding the scientific name and measurements in cm, very useful.
I would like to know if you have any experience on how it works on pots/boxes and if you could include that info in future videos. Thank you so much!
Can’t wait to try Helen Von Stein- might be too humid here in NC but worth trying!🤞🏼😎
I love lamb's ear technically I am in zone 2b/3a but I have had this plant for the 3rd season now and she is doing awesome.
Janey, I don't think it would like my heavy clay soil and high humidity. I've seen Lamb's Ear (not sure of the variety) in this area that looks terrible, so I'll probably stay away from planting it in my garden. The information you gave on how to grow it, light requirements, etc. was very helpful. Thank you. I hope you have a fun weekend! ~Margie🤗💐🐝🦋
I'm in zone 3 Alberta Canada. I'm going to test it. Bought 3 of them we'll see if they make it through -45 Celcius
I purchased one earlier this summer because of you and it is fantastic! Just love it and it loves my front flower garden too! It has doubled in size and now I can have 2 plants. I suppose spring would be the best time for me to divide? Hot and humid 7b in MS. We have had a dry summer though.
Your success in 7B humid MS gives me hope for that plant in NC!😀
@@jeannettejohnson2572 I do have it in full sun but protected by hot afternoon sun.
Here in N Carolina zone 7b they do well in an elevated or sloped bed so that our heavy rains drain away from the roots. It’s a champ alongside brick or rock walkways. It does not bloom here.
What is this plant growing behind you? It looks awesome. Is it growing on a wire?
Hi Janie these videos are great. Now that fall is coming I would like to know more about bulbs for our zone. Which bulos thrive in zone 9 and how to care for them. Thanks 🙏
I have a different variety that I love as well. Mine has similar sz leaves, as in length but half as wide. I like the flower tho, as do the bees, pretty purple flowers that have a wonderful scent. It comes up in the yard too. I'm in a...don't hate me...rainy area here on the shore in Maryland, very humid as well, mine makes out fine. Guess it's the variety.?
I don't care for the blooms either but I leave them for the bees who absolutely love them.
Under a porch overhang would protect from rain
With the one gallon per hour emitter, how long and how often do you water?
Roses need more water. I’m wondering how the lambs ear will do planted under them.
How do folks manage the flower/stalks that bloom? Do you cut them back? how often? Thank you!
I hope i am not too late with a question. do you cut it back in the spring or fall? thank you for these videos! they are really so helpful.
Buenos dias
Does silver carpet flower? because I heard it’s non-flowering.
Beautiful plant, not good here in coastal south Virginia 8A...gets slimy and rotten, and needs constant clean-up of bottom leaves. Better suited for a drier climate to thrive.
What temperature can they tolerate
What about coastal 10a? Anyone in that zone try it?
Will this plant do well in a container?
Where do you buy yours? I live not far from you in El Dorado Hills and I have not been able to find this variety of Lambs Ear.
I'm in So Cal and could never find it either. I finally ordered it online from Annie's Annuals. They arrived healthy and are thriving right now.
My lambs ear is only just surviving after all our weather, theres one leaf left🤞
How are your girls doing
maybe show us the plant in your garden too. after all that education on the plant I found I wanted to see it be beautiful somewhere in your garden. I know it’s somewhere by the new vinca/vinka that you planted but I can’t quite picture it in my mind. :)
Oops. I think I've been identifying mullien as Lambs' ear. Off to Google I go 🚶♀️
