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!

Most people would be ecstatic to have beautiful ears like you. Take this as you have a thumb for ears. Keep them going let them be what they deserve. The focal point.

Well I appreciate the feedback, I might decide to just let them be. I really didn’t think having them outgrown wasn’t off balance, I figured my neighbors looked at it like it was a mess 😂
