Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla mollis)

Lady’s Mantle is a low-growing, mounding perennial admired for its soft, velvety, scalloped leaves that catch and hold raindrops like jewels. In early summer, it produces airy sprays of chartreuse-yellow flowers that add a soft texture to garden beds and bouquets. It thrives in a range of conditions and is especially well-suited to shadier garden edges, cottage gardens, and as a ground cover. It’s also deer resistant and a beautiful foliage complement to more colorful bloomers.
