For soft, silvery foliage that spreads like a dream, ‘Silver Carpet’ Lamb’s Ear is the ultimate drought-tolerant ground cover. Unlike other varieties, this low-growing, mat-forming perennial focuses all its energy on producing lush, velvety foliage rather than flowers, ensuring a dense, uniform spread that’s perfect for borders, pathways, rock gardens, and erosion control. Heat-loving, deer-resistant, and nearly indestructible, ‘Silver Carpet’ thrives in poor soils, dry conditions, and full sun, making it a low-maintenance favorite with high-impact texture.
