Alchemilla vulgaris

Soft gray-green velvet, lobed leaves. Grows 6–12 inches tall in tight mounds. Prefers full sun to light shade. Has a tendency to reseed so can become aggressive. Glistening beads of water held on leaves after rains or heavy dew make it attractive. Chartreuse flowers in late spring. Space 8–12 inches apart. Perennial. Hardy in Zone 3.
