Alchemilla mollis

Invaluable. Forms a mound of velvety rounded leaves. When their serrated edges are full of dew-drops each leaf looks like a beaded shawl. All late spring, into summer, the long sprays of frothing lime green starry flowers are a delight. Seen here growing with Lysimachia ciliata 'Firecracker', (the purple foliage). Once the flowers have turned brown, cut back hard and new green foliage will appear and maybe a reduced second flowering. Does best in full sun (but not very dry) and will tolerate a position in dappled shade.
