Alchemilla mollis 8211 2026

Alchemilla mollis is a popular ladys mantle known for its soft, velvety, lobed green leaves that form a graceful, arching mound. From late spring to summer, it produces sprays of small, star-shaped, yellow-green flowers that rise above the foliage, adding a delicate, airy texture to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial beds. The leaves are excellent at catching morning dew or rainfall, creating a sparkling effect that enhances visual interest even when not in bloom. This hardy perennial is easy to grow, tolerant of a range of soils, and works well as a low-maintenance groundcover, in naturalistic plantings, or to soften the edges of paths and structures. Its combination of ornamental foliage and subtle flowers makes it a versatile and enduring garden plant.
