  • Alchemilla mollis, or Lady’s Mantle, is a tough and reliable perennial. It flourishes in conditions ranging from partial to full shade, which makes it a great option for those tricky spots in the garden that don't get much sun. Its ability to adapt and endure means it does well in a variety of planting scenarios.

  • This plant is particularly valued for its lush, colourful leaves. The rounded foliage creates a pleasing, low-growing carpet.From late spring until summer's end, this plant bursts forth with clusters of pale yellow flowers. They lend a light, ethereal touch to garden borders and, in the process, draw in pollinators, contributing to a more diverse garden ecosystem.

  • Alchemilla mollis, offered as a bare root plant, is particularly well-suited for planting in the fall. This timing encourages robust root development before the cold sets in. It's a remarkably adaptable plant, flourishing in a range of soil conditions.

    • Light Required Grows well in full sun or partial shade. It’s quite adaptable, but partial shade often keeps the foliage fresher during hot, dry climates.

    Watering Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season. Once established, water when the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering.

    Best Growing Conditions Moist but well-drained, fertile soil – tolerates clay, loam, or sandy soils.
