🌱 Growing Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date by pressing them lightly into moist soil without covering, as they require light to germinate. Keep soil consistently moist until sprouts appear. After frost danger passes, transplant outdoors into well-draining soil. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf rot; lamb’s ear thrives in dry conditions.
