Lamb's Ear is thriving!

I love to just pick a leaf and feel the soft fuzzy surface on my skin. They say they are medicinal and I can vouch for that. I got stung by some kind of tiny insect in my house. Man, did it hurt instantly. I went outside, pulled a leaf, moistened and placed it on the sting on my hand and held it there. Within 5 minutes, it was no longer stinging. The clump shown in the pic is 3-years old, started from a tiny bedding plant. The clump is now nearly 4' around with lots of room to grow even larger in years to come. Comes through winter without protection, too. Doesn't like heavy rain or water (rots if it lays on the ground damp), but I just pull those leaves out as they shed on the bottom and it just puts out new leaves constantly to replace any lost from rain.
