my lamb's ears are doing very well in the herb garden this year. i enjoy this plant for the flowering spikes, although i realize that deadheading helps the plant's overall growth and maturity. my lamb's ears are spreading and i plan to divide them this year in the fall. the soft grey leaves and the woolly feeling when they are touched makes this plant one of my favorite herbs in the garden. planted next to my lamb's ears are chives and thyme which are also blooming right now.
this is my first year growing yellow loosestrife. although the purple cultivar has been banned in several states due to the invasive nature, this yellow variety seems to be more compact and cooperative. i plan on shearing it down to keep it blooming longer.
