When to plant lambs ear
Lambs ear is a low, spreading groundcover perennial set out as a plant and propagated by division. Plant in spring once the soil is workable in full sun and well-drained soil; NC State notes it may need dividing every two to four years and that wet leaves invite disease.
Lambs Ear is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
