Product Description
Friend of Pollinators
Adding this plant to your garden will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!
Lamb's Ear (Stachys Macrantha Superba)
This old-fashioned treasure has been gaining new popularity in the flower garden! It is quite the charming plant, featuring romantic rosy-lavender flower spikes. The foliage is bright green with crinkled, ovate to heart-shaped leaves. Lamb's Ear Macrantha Superba is very drought tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings.
Also known as Big Betony, this Lamb's Ear has a strong spreading habit and is a liberal self-sower. If you want to keep it contained, deadhead spent blooms in order to prevent abundant spreading of seed. The flowers of this plant are long-lived serve as a fine addition in a cottage garden. They are also commonly harvested as cut flowers, owing to their thin, sturdy stems. The compact, bushy plants also work well along the border or as a general ground cover.
Charming Perennial
How to Grow
Sow these seeds in late winter, 8 - 10 weeks before the end of frost season. Use starter trays and quality starter soil. Press the seeds into the soil but do not cover.
Keep the seeds moist until germination, which will occur in 4-6 weeks under proper conditions. Once seedlings are established and all danger of frost has passed, they can be transplanted directly outdoors.
Pinch back at the time of transplanting to encourage a more compact growth. Space these plants 18 inches apart.

Awesome product.
I put these on a heat mat and they germinated so quickly. They take about 3-4 month to get fuzzy wuzzy. Also, they had a very high germination rate. I will buy again.

I thought I was done planting when Spring was over, but then I found these for a problem wet spot where weeds and moss were taking over. The Outsidepride website had Great information about how to grow these even planted in Summer. Their shakers provided the initial fertilizer along with making planting easier than dealing with the tiny little seeds by themselves. Watering them diligently seemed to help with germination. They even survived an application of Mosquito Bits which I had to use because I knew there were nasty fungus gnat larvae in that challenging soil. Lamb's Ear will beat the heck out of what was there before, and we still have weeks or months before the first frost arrives.
