Alchemilla mollis

Perennials

Lady's Mantle

Velvety foliage and clouds of chartreuse bloom for an elegant, easy border edge.

Lady's mantle forms soft mounds of scalloped leaves that catch rain and dew in bright beads. Airy chartreuse flowers rise above the foliage in early summer and blend easily with many colour schemes.
