Alchemilla Mollis Seeds - Flower Plant

Alchemilla mollis, commonly known as lady’s mantle, is a herbaceous perennial valued for its soft, rounded foliage and airy clusters of small flowers. It forms low, mounding clumps with scalloped leaves that hold moisture on their surface, creating a distinctive appearance. This plant adapts well to temperate climates and thrives in partial shade to full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It is commonly used in borders, edging, and cottage-style gardens, where it provides ground cover and texture. Seeds establish gradually and benefit from consistent moisture during early growth.
