Description
‘Helen Von Stein’ is a low-growing Lamb’s Ear cultivar that produces a dense, silver carpet in the landscape or garden. Kids absolutely love to touch the big leaves that look and feel soft and velvety…like a lamb’s ear! The grey-green foliage contrasts beautifully with plants that have darker foliage. Helen Von Stein has done amazingly well in our hot and humid summer climate here in north-central Georgia. We have plants in our gardens that are over 10 years old and they haven’t melted yet!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 6 inches tall and spreading to form a patch 24 or more inches wide, Helen Von Stein Lamb’s Ear is ideal for use as a small-area groundcover or border in landscape and perennial borders and home foundation plantings that have well-drained soil. Excellent to line a path or walkway. A fine addition to container gardens, rock gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Growing Preferences
Helen Von Stein Lamb’s Ear is very easy to grow in a moist to dry well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Well-drained soil is essential! The plant will rot in constantly soggy or wet soils. Morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves.

This was my first time ordering from this company. My Lamb’s Ear arrived in excellent condition and was very healthy looking. It is already in my garden and seems to be doing great. Thank you so much!!————————————————-You’re very welcome! Thanks for the awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!:) Beth Steele | WBG
I received beautiful, healthy plants that are already showing new growth in the very short time they have been planted.—————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
She loved it! I received the plant in healthy condition. It was packaged carefully as there was staples to stabilize the pot and packing paper inside with a lot of information (which I appreciated).——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope she enjoys it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
The plant came quickly and looks like the picture.————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
The plants were beautiful and they were in great condition. They were packed well. I would definitely order from them again.——————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
It was beautiful when I first got it but I left it in the shade in the same pot,, and now the leaves are down: I transplant it in a bigger pot I hope it respond to the change.—————————————The Lambs Ear likes the sun and if it wasn’t getting watered everday in the small pot in the shade, that’s probably the problem. Repotting is good, needs some sun and regular watering, and it should be fine. Thanks for the review. 🙂 Beth | WBG
These were the nicest, most well packed plants I have ever received from a Nursery through the mail. I Highly recommend Wilson Brothers and will be using them frequently in the future. Pic is a little wet looking because Tropical Storm Bertha just wandered through our place!——————————————We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
Received in good condition. It’s now 3 weeks and it has doubled in size. Plant it in sun for most of the day, and it will be out of sun for the later afternoon.—————————We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
