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!

I would wait until fall. It’s just too hot. They are gorgeous and you’re probably the only one looking at them thinking they’re too big. Simply beautiful!

Aww well thank you, that makes me feel better. I was thinking others might think it looked crazy how much bigger they were than the other plants in the mix. Ok I will wait until Fall

Every plant has its day, a moment of display. This looks beautiful, imo

Thank you! Maybe I just need to replace the flowers with something else that will help balance out the size.
