Dwarf Lady's Mantle
Tough and long-lived, award-winner Alchemilla erythropoda (Dwarf Lady’s Mantle) is a low-growing perennial forming a dense mound of rounded, softly hairy, bluish-green leaves adorned with sharply toothed lobes. The leaves retain the moisture beads after the rain. In late spring to mid-summer, sprays of chartreuse flowers are on display, taking on striking reddish tones as they age. Perfect as a small scale groundcover, under shrubs and trees, or as an edging plant. Ideal for the rock garden, this charming and easy to grow Lady’s Mantle also provides a long season of interest at the front of the border.
