Add a little Dr. Seuss to your garden with ‘Baby Peace,‘ a charming dwarf variety of the lion‘s ear plant! With fiery orange blooms that roar like a lion‘s mane, this whimsical wonder blooms from late summer through fall, right up to frost. Standing tall with an upright habit, ‘Baby Peace‘ shines in mixed containers or garden beds, where its tubular, two-lipped whorls of flowers create playful texture and a bold focal point. Plant it in spring, and watch it sizzle with color when the summer sun heats up! Native to South Africa, where it is known for its medicinal uses, lion‘s ear grows as an annual in our area. You may have noticed it in plantings at Longwood Gardens, especially in their newest conservatory! It thrives in sunny, well-drained soil, flourishing with regular moisture but showing resilience in dry spells. Deer and rabbits are likely to turn up their noses—the scented foliage is not their cup of tea! Meanwhile, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees will flock to its vibrant blooms. Make your garden a place of peace, play, and pollinators with ‘Baby Peace‘!
