A clump-forming herbaceous perennial, Alchemilla mollis is so adaptable, low-maintenance and attractive that it can find a place in any garden. It has pretty, pale-green, scalloped leaves with soft, silvery hairs which hold raindrops like little diamonds. In June, sprays of lime-green fluffy flowers appear, gradually turning gold; these should be removed as soon as they start turning brown, as, if Lady’s mantle has a fault, it’s that it can be an incontinent self-seeder. A wonderful front-of-border plant, setting off any colour scheme, Lady’s mantle will thrive in any soil, in sun or shade – a must-have plant.
