Broadtooth lady's mantle is a charming perennial ground cover prized for its scalloped leaves that collect dew and raindrops. It thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil and is a superb edging plant for shaded borders. Trim back after flowering to encourage a fresh flush of foliage and prevent excessive self-seeding.
