Alchemilla alpina--Mountain Lady's Mantle

Hardiness Zone: 3 to 8                                      
Height: 8 in   Spacing: 12 in                               
Type: herbaceous perennial                                  
Flowers: Yellow                                             

Comments: This low plant can be used as a ground cover or   
rock garden plant.  The grayish leaves have white margins.  
Mountain Lady's Mantle needs an evenly moist soil.  The     
plant is useful in shaded areas but beware of its invasive  
tendencies.  Profuse self-seeding can lead to an            
overabundance of volunteer plants.  The flowers will        
actually range in color from yellow to green and are        
sometimes used fresh or dried in arrangements.              

Propagation: Propagation is by seed or division.  Division  
can be done in either spring or autumn.
