‼️Follow up from yesterday’s post.‼️
A customer 🫵 helped bring up a common topic of discussion in regards to Mullein.
Mullein and Lamb’s ear plants both look very similar and are commonly mistaken one plant for the other.
Correct identification 🌱 of the 2 can be very difficult. I complied this comparison chart 📈 as a quick identification guide Mullein vs. Lamb’s Ear plants.
Hope this helps other aspiring herbalist!
