Alchemilla mollis, the garden lady’s-mantle or lady’s-mantle, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to southern Europe and grown throughout the world as an ornamental garden plant. It grows 30 to 45 cm tall, with leaves that are palmately veined, with a scalloped and serrated margin. The stipules are noteworthy in that they are fused together and leaf like. The chartreuse yellow flowers are held in dense clusters above the foliage. This plant, together with a similar but dwarf variety, A. erythropoda, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
Good-looking, compact, bushy and heat loving, Achillea millefolium ‘Pomegranate‘ is a stunning Yarrow with its masses of long-lasting clusters of rich velvety red flowers which immediately catch the eye. Its pleasantly aromatic, semi-evergreen, green fern-like foliage is disease resistant and nicely compliments the cheerful flat umbel flowers.
Best blue-gray foliage frosted with silver highlights. This classical selection produces dense sulfur-yellow flower heads. “Moonshine” is still one of the most popular garden varieties today. Combines well with other garden selections especially when used in sharp contrast with Cranesbill Geranium. This hybrid does not spread.
