Features of Lady's Mantle
Body
Mound shaped plants with decorative scalloped velvety foliage. Sprays of chartreuse flowers held above the foliage. Particularly nice after a rain or heavy dew as water droplets are held on the leaves and glisten in the sun. Will reseed.
Care
- Prefers a moist soil in a lightly shaded location.
- Dry soils affect foliage quality
- Needs to be divided occasionally to keep the plants vigorous and avoid dead areas.
- Removing spent flowers helps in late season appearance.
