Description

Lady's Mantle,Alchemilla vulgaris and Alchemilla xanthochlora, Dewcup, Hairy Mantle, Lion’s Foot, Bear’s Foot, Nine Hooks, Leontopodium, and Stellaria.

Lady's Mantle has a lovely way of catching the rain. The fuzzy leaves cause the rain to bead and the beads catch light so beautifully. The lovely shapes and lines of the leaves beckon for a closer look. It's a treat to have this plant in any garden.

Alchemilla is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants in the Rosaceae, and a popular garden herb with the common name Lady's mantle. There are about 300 species, the majority native to cool temperate and subarctic regions of Europe and Asia, with a few species native to the mountains of Africa, North America and South America.
Most species of Alchemilla are clump-forming or mounded, perennials with basal leaves arising from woody rhizomes. Some species have leaves with lobes that radiate from a common point and others have divided leaves—both are typically fan-shaped with small teeth at the tips. The long-stalked, gray-green to green leaves are often covered with soft hairs, which hold water drops on the surface and along the edges. Green to bright chartreuse flowers are small, have no petals and appear in clusters above the foliage in late spring and summer.
