Alchemilla ellenbeckii is a very unusual, small, prostrate, evergreen, ground covering lady’s mantle that spreads by trailing, reddish stems with tiny, 5-lobed, kidney-shaped, bright green to grey-green leaves. The tiny flowers are the classic electric green and offer a subtle display. Slow to moderate growing with wonderful texture. Perfect along pathways and under shrubs in the shady, woodland garden.
