‘Lamb's Ears’ grow 6 inches tall with furry, silvery gray-green oval leaves that look like their namesake. In spring, the plants send up furry silver stalks of pink flower spikes to about 2 feet high, but the rest of the plant stays much closer to the ground. Its texture can best be described as "velvety."
