Description

Alchemilla sericata          (Lady’s Mantle)

Sun / Part Sun               Zones: 3 – 9

Habit: compact / bushing                 H: 14″   x  W: 16″

This European genus consists of a number of species with some unique features. The leaves are fan shaped, lobed and somewhat hairy. Due to their shape they collect beads of water for a fascinating effect. The masses of tiny chartreuse flowers are especially showy; watch for reseeding. Blooms May to July.

Cultivation: Best grown in evenly moist, well-draining soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of a range of soil types and growing conditions including clay soils and dappled shade conditions. Intolerant of water-logged soils or long periods of drought. Deadhead before seeds form to reduce self-seeding.

Utilization: A versatile ground cover that can be used in borders, gravel gardens, cottage gardens, as a path edger or for underplanting roses and other shrubs.
