ALCHEMILLA mollis - 9cm pot

No garden should be without this beautiful and useful perennial. It has attractively scalloped, bright green leaves, which catch water droplets (that look like quicksilver), and from June to September, it produces a frothy haze of tiny, chartreuse yellow flowers.

Alchemilla mollis looks wonderful when planted en-masse for weed-smothering groundcover - or when used to line pathways of border edges. Tough and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, once established it can also cope with drought - which makes it the perfect addition to low-maintenance/high impact planting schemes.
