Stachys officinalis, commonly known as lamb's ear, is a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia. Renowned for its soft, fuzzy leaves that resemble lamb's ears, this plant typically grows 12 to 18 inches tall and produces spikes of small, tubular flowers in shades of purple, pink, or white during late spring to early summer. Lamb's ear thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for borders, rock gardens, and as ground cover. Its drought-resistant qualities and ability to attract pollinators, such as bees, further enhance its appeal in ornamental gardens. Historically, Stachys officinalis has also been used for its medicinal properties, including treatments for wounds and respiratory issues.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
