Lady's Mantle- Alchemilla Mollis



Brightens the garden with it's green foliage and yellow green flowers. It can be planted in masses to give a dramatic effect or just one to heighten the colour of other plants and flowers. It can take sun or shade and needs to be kept fairly moist. It doesn't do well in drought or deep shade.
The foliage grows 12 -18 inches and the flowers grow 18-24 inches high. Blooming happens in the spring and early summer. It can spread over the years so it might be considered a good ground cover.
