Lambs' ears = Stachys. How scary! That's one I used to grow just because I liked the feel of it. It's not much to look at but now I'll rethink whether or not to replace it. I try to follow 'live and let live' with most insects when I'm outside(all must die if they enter the house) but bees that follow me around have a death wish that I will gladly grant.

i liked it too, but besides the yellowjackets liking its blooms, the thing spreads like a dang WEED! someone told me recently that even if it is a plant you like, if it isn't where you want it, it is a weed! that is how i felt about the lambs ear. it was taking over. Now the lariope is trying to do the same thing. i am pulling that out like mad. i want the original clumps that i had, i don't want the whole front filled with it.
