Lamb's ear, with its distinctive silver-foliaged appearance, is an herbaceous perennial native to regions like Armenia, Iran, and Turkey​​​​. Recognized for its unique, velvety leaves, it is a favored ground cover that forms a dense clump, creating a low-spreading mat that can be evergreen in warmer climates​​​​. The leaves have antimicrobial activity​​​​​​ and the young leaves can be consumed. Lamb's ear has several cultivars and has been introduced beyond its native range. It's drought-tolerant.
