McHudd,,Lamb's Ears are hardy in our zone...the problem is, once you plant a section, man oh man do they take over..lol. I've never tried growing one as a house plant, but since you have it why not give it a try? Don't you just love how soft it feels. I don't know if it'd hang though..lambs ears grow semi-tall, (not huge) but tall, especially when theyre in flower. If you can keep cooler in winter, and give as much sun as possible, they just might make it. I don't know if they have to go through dormancy or not. What type of pot would you plant them in? Toni

might be. But don't remember it growing that large. And may not have been that much in one spot. In the post Warning this may make you want to expand your colection(something like that) there is a pic towards the bottom of the post that looks closer, but can't get back to it. My puter keeps freezing up.

Thanks for all the comments and recommendations on Lamb's Ears. Mine are all in one place now and a fairly dry one I hope. They just about desintegrated in the wet soil I had them first. The flowers are OK and I'll leave them alone for a while, eventhough one of them that had been just about water logged did not get it's head up but it was sprouting little leaves, so I cut off the stem. I think I'll get some dark purple salvias or the sedum as a companion. May in Atlanta, Georgia - :-)

Lower 30's wont hurt anything but maybe the flower of the iris. Newly divided plants are no more susptable to freezing than mature ones are. If it's going to go below 30, I would toss an old sheet over the plants....but sometimes a cover weighing on the plants does more harm than good. Linda C
