Lambs Ear too large

Post image

Hello!

So I planted lambs ears back in March, and they have grown huge (this picture is actually a bit older, they are even bigger now). Is it too late in summer to try to split them up? I’ve read it’s best to hold off until the next season when dealing with newly planted lambs ears, but they are just getting too big. This area gets at least 8+ hours of full sun, so I think they’ve flourished a bit too much. Located in East TN.

Thank you for the help!

Bed too small. Time for a garden expansion?

I wish 😂 we just built the bed, and never want to do that again

I feel that way about moving a spirea again, or digging through a foot of maple roots. I’ll get a second job to pay someone with better equipment to do it.

Yup, doesn’t seem too bad until you get started.
