Lamb's Ear
I have Lamb's Ear everywhere on my property. All I ever see is the leaves, there is never a flower. Is there a different kind? I have the same silver leaves, but they go to a soft velvet feeling leave. Should I dig them all up and plant them together?

What, if anything, do I do in the fall to/for overwintering Lamb's Ear? Do I cut it back? When do I divide it?
