Plant of the Week: Lady's Mantle

Lady's mantle Alchemilla mollis Zone 3-8

This compact perennial has leaves that slightly resemble geraniums. Beginning in spring, tiny clusters of yellow flowers appear and add a beautiful texture contrast to the flat, smooth leaves. Can reach 2' tall and 2' wide.

Water regularly. Plant in well-drained soil, and in shade to filtered shade. Deadhead regularly to prevent self-seeding.
