Alpine lady's-mantle
Alchemilla alpina
Alpine lady's-mantle is a charming, low-growing perennial prized for its silvery, dew-catching foliage and frothy lime-green flowers that are stunning in borders and cottage gardens. It thrives in cool climates with full sun and well-drained but moisture-retentive soil, making it ideal for rock gardens or alpine plantings. Once established it is largely self-sufficient, requiring only occasional watering and light trimming after flowering to encourage fresh foliage.
