Best know as ‘Lamb’s Ear’ or simply ‘Big Ears,’ this wonderfully unique perennial produces a low mat of wolly silvery grey foliage. Â ‘Helen Von Stein’ feature the largest leaves of all varieties of Lamb’s Ear. Â My favorite characteristic of this wonderful plant is the soft velevty texture of the leaves, which children love to rub between their fingers. Â Although grown primarliy for its foliage, this plant also produces tall flower spikes that bear pink flowers in the summer.
