What is this plant?
Hi, My daughter bought this plant that was tagged as Lambs Ear, I don't think it is, I have never seen a lambs ear that looks like this.
Any ideas what this could be? it seems to have some type of flower stock at the top of the plant.

It looks like Verbascum.

Yup, aka Mullein. It should have yellow flowers. Deadhead them after blooming unless you want a hundred little babies. I also have white and purple flowering versions, but they don't have that greyish foliage.

aka Verbascum thapsus. Its a listed weed in BC so if someone is selling it in a nursery they are being a bit disengenous.

I had one of those pop up on my property last year. I had no idea what it was, but I was so bedazzled at the rapid growth and enormous height and volume of it, I just let it grow. Then I yanked it.
