Hi Sandy (and friends)
I HAVE dried all parts of Lambs ears, and they are gorgeous.  Even those
flower stalks, that not everyone enjoys, dry beautifully and add interest
to dried arrangements.  The leaves are a bit brittle when dried, and
react to the house moisture more than other flowers I have dried, but in
delicate wreaths and arrangements placed out of traffic areas, it is
wonderful.  My favorite companion to it are dried dark pink peony
flowers.

Happy growing.
