memorialgarden

A couple of days ago a friend dropped off a few bags of Lamb’s Ears for the Memorial
Garden.  Their silver greenish foliage will add a nice contrast to the garden.  We have to be careful because they are known to be invasive when grown under the right conditions.  But that will work fine for us.  We were looking for plants that can survive the poor soil and almost no water conditions of our garden spot.  We were considering putting a child friendly garden area and I know these are perfect because of the way the feel almost suede- like to the touch and the way they look- like lamb’s ears.  I am sure our young visitors will enjoy them.  Best of all they are deer resistance.   

I also read online of a religious tie-in of the Lambs Ear with our babies.  Lamb’s Ear is also known as Jesus Flannel to the English; as it is soft enough to serve as Baby Jesus’ swaddling clothes and also another connection- Jesus is also known as the Lamb of God.  Perfect plant for our healing garden!
