Lady's mantle

Alchemilla selections
Rate and Comment
Lady's mantle

Lady's mantle looks great in the garden and cut in a vase. Its scalloped leaves catch rain or drewdrops, making them look dusted with jewels. The chartreuse flowers appear in playful, frothy clusters above the foliage. Lady's mantle is ideal for softening the edge of a shaded path or creating a groundcover in dappled shade.
