Smooth lady's-mantle is a low-maintenance perennial that thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It is ideal for edging borders or woodland gardens, producing delicate chartreuse flowers in early summer. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and cut back after flowering to encourage fresh foliage.
