Expert Response

It could be a number of insects chewing on the leaves but its nothing to worry about. Grasshoppers, beetles, snails and slugs, etc. This damage does not look extensive and they should return fine. Lambs ear is pretty hardy. Just check for watering through the hot summer months and water deeply as needed.
