Hairy lady's mantle is a charming, low-growing perennial prized for its velvety, dew-catching foliage and delicate chartreuse flowers that are perfect for edging borders or shaded garden beds. It prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, particularly in warmer climates where afternoon sun can scorch the leaves. Trim back old foliage in late summer to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
