Alchemilla mollis
Lady's-Mantle
Description
Lady's Mantale is quite adaptable, growing in full sun to part shade, but can tolerate full shade. Morning dew and rain will bead up on the foliage, which is very attractive. Chartreuse flowers appear in June, which may be cut or dried. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Water Saving Tip:
Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.
One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
