Unit price perBack for the 2026 season.
Soft, fuzzy leaves have the look and feel of lamb's ears! Non-flowering variety is useful for providing textural contrast in front of or around taller plants, as an edging along sunny walks or used as a small-scale ground cover around young trees. Thick, tongue-shaped velvety gray leaves spread quickly to form a thick carpet of foliage. Can spread aggressively in rich soil. Easy to grow, but be careful not to over-water.
