Alchemilla mollis
A. mollis is an herbaceous perennial forming a clump of softly hairy, light green leaves with scalloped and toothed edges. Small, acid green / yellow spray of flowers sit just above the foliage from early summer through to early autumn..
A great filler for flower arranging, I absolutely love this plant. Good ground cover and drought tolerant.

Lady’s Mantle

Cultivation
It will grow in moist soils, is fully hardy and tolerates full sun and part shade. Cut back in the autumn when it starts to look a bit ragged. We also give some of the plants a mid summer chop if they are looking sad and you generally get another flush of foliage. It is pretty in containers too.Additional Information
I use both the leaves and flowers in arrangements. The flowers are a great, airy lime green filler in arrangements. I also love them in the garden and in pots. Watch how water droplets sit on the leaves in the morning
