Profuse sprays of yellow-green frothy flowers adorn a mound of lush gray-green foliage, much larger than our other Alchemilla offerings. The leaves alone will enhance the foreground of any perennial border. 'Auslese' prefers cool moist soil, so we oblige by planting it in a woodland setting under a high canopy.

Lovely "Lady's Mantle" is a reliable edging plant for the mixed border. A standard in our own gardens and designs. Blooms for 5-6 weeks with handsome scalloped leaves and billows of airy chartreuse blossoms in early summer. Cut back plant to the ground after blooming for fresh growth. Likes a moist, but well drained soil.
