Alchemilla mollis

Lady’s Mantle         

Alchemilla mollis is a decorative clump forming ground cover perennial with attractive sprays of tiny lime green to yellow flowers in mid summer. Leaves have a pretty crinkled edge that catch rain and early morning dew. It grows to a height of 30cm, with a spread of 30cm. It is very hardy and easy to grow. The leaves are also slightly cup-shaped, which allows them to hold rainwater, giving the plant its common name, Lady’s mantle.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring
