Notes
Dwarf lady's mantle (Alchemilla erythropoda) is a perennial for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms in spring and again in summer. Each plant spreads 12 to 24 inches, so give it room to fill in. It needs little care once settled.
Pairs well with Dr. Alexander Fleming peony, Carlton daffodil, and Sedge.
Native range
Central Asia and Türkiye.
