Description

Today, I want to discuss a common garden plant called Lamb’s Ears (Stachys). It’s an effective edging plant that allows other colors to shine. Its soft foliage makes it a cozy and pleasant plant to talk about or share with friends.

The name “Lamb’s Ears” is quite obvious, as it resembles the soft texture of a lamb’s ear. Early horticulturists and botanists likely felt the plant’s softness and named it accordingly. While I haven’t been close to lamb’s ears, I’ve been close to lamb’s wool, and I think the name fits well.
