Dwarf Ladies Mantle

The scalloped mid green leaves have tiny hairs so when it rains the water forms beads that glitter like diamonds in the sun. A more dwarf form of the common Lady's Mantle. The scalloped leaves are green with a hint of blue. Each leaf is around 4cm across and they grow low to the ground, around 15cm tall. This makes them ideal as a ground cover.

From late spring to autumn, the handsome foliage of Dwarf Lady's Mantle is complimented by loose cymes of lime green flowers that turn rust red as they age. If grown in sun, the foliage will have a red flush.

Grow Dwarf Lady's Mantle or Alchemilla as a ground cover, in a pot, beneath roses, on embankments, in cottage gardens or towards the front of your beds to soften the edges. Lady's Mantle grows well in part shade, protect from hot summer sun. Plant in moist, humus rich, well drained soil for best results.

Prune spent foliage in autumn to keep plants tidy. Flowers will set seed but are not invasive, the plants will ramble gently. Protect young foliage from slugs and snails.

Dwarf ladies Mantle holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
