Overview

Alpine Lady's-Mantle (Alchemilla alpina) is a compact perennial, ideal for rock gardens, reaching 6-10 inches in height. It features softly lobed, gray-green leaves with silvery undersides that create a striking ground cover. In summer, dainty clusters of star-shaped, yellow-green flowers rise above the foliage. Requires well-drained soil and full to partial sun. Hardy in Zones 3-8, it's a low-maintenance choice that attracts pollinators while resisting deer and rabbits.
