Description
(4-6" tall x 18-30" wide.) Stachys byzantina 'Silver Carpet' (Lamb's Ear) is a handsome, fuzzy, grey-leaved groundcover that
thrives in problem areas such as dry shade and poor soils.
Non-flowering, use the foliage to contrast nicely with green and blue
leaved plants. A great medium spreading groundcover that thrives in the
xeric garden. Best in regions with dry summer heat; avoid planting in
areas with high humidity, as these conditions can cause foliar rot. Good
for Firescaping. (Photo credit: Plenuska (Own work) [CC BY-SA 4.0

Reviews
Excellent Quality
"This product was so well packed upon arrival. All of the plants (I got a full tray) were extremely healthy, vibrant, and looked exactly like the photos. Since their arrival, they have doubled in height and still are looking great, despite my inability to plant them yet (waiting for my gardening are to be completed). This review was collected as a part of a #sweepstakes but is completely genuine."
Love our Lamb's ears!
"We had a large-ish area that our landscape plan had called for artificial turf. We decided against it, and instead self-installed gopher wire, soil and mulch. We wanted low-water plants and while locally in Northern California we could find succulents, lambs ears were nowhere to be found! So I ordered online 2 flats from High Country Gardens. They came beautifully and securely packaged with a week or so. The plants were in deep 4-in diameter pots, very healthy, and tiny adorable leaves. I couldn't get to planting them immediately as advised, but the rain, sun and embedding the flat in a few inches of soil allowed them to do well until I was able to plant them about 3 weeks later. They are thriving! I'll definitely buy again from High Country Gardens! Great online videos and instructions too, for those of us who are not master gardeners."
Gorgeous and thriving
"All 5 of the plants I bought in a partially shaded garden bed are thriving. They are so easy to keep alive and look beautiful!"
Adorable
"Love it! I ordered 2 plants. The selections that were sent were beautiful and healthy and the packing was on point. I planted mine in large pots with well draining potting soil. My kid loves it because of the texture and because we once visited a museum that said it was used as toilet paper at one point in time. So these plants brought back great memories for us! Thank you 😊"
So Happy to Find This Great Plant
"I have long loved this Lamb's Ear! I lost ours many years ago and forgot about it. Now, I am so glad to add something that highlights the garden edges so well!"
Fuzzy Favorite!
"A fun alternative to hostas for your shady flower bed. Fills out the space nicely and my kids love touching the soft leaves."
It grew way taller than the description said it would.
"Pretty, but did work in the spot I was putting it. It grew way taller than said it would in description."
cute fluffy leaves
"Although been said that they do not bloom they do produce spikes with small purple flowers; quite lovely. The leaves are like fluffy ears of a furry creature, I was able to share plants with friends"
Big and beautiful
"Made it through the cold winter. Big and beautiful! Growing exceptionally well"
Truly drought tolerant and evergreen
"This is a follow-up review with a photo of the beautiful leaf texture. :) I also want to add that the 5 inch pots from High Country Gardens were so generously filled with lambs ear and they're healthy root systems, that we were able to divide immediately. That represented a great value, basically twice as many plans as we were expecting."
