Alchemilla erythropoda

Common Name: Lady's Mantle

This species looks very much like a dwarf Alchemilla mollis. Because of its smaller size, it fits better into small spaces and makes a beautiful edging. The leaves of this species are smaller and gray-green. The leaf margins are serrated, looking as if they have been cut with pinking shears.

From late spring thru early summer, frothy sprays of tiny, yellow-green flowers appear above the mounds of foliage. They make long-lasting cut flowers or can be dried for use in future projects.
