Silky lady's mantle
Alchemilla glaucescens
Silky lady's mantle is a charming, low-growing perennial prized for its silvery-green foliage that catches dew and raindrops beautifully. It grows best in a sunny to partly shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil and needs minimal care once established. Trim back after flowering to keep the plant looking fresh and to prevent excessive self-seeding.
