A cottage garden favourite with sensual foliage and zingy flowers which enhance both traditional and modern planting schemes. Flowers are excellent for cutting and offer a colourful haze to vases and bouquets – they can even be dried for use later in the season. The frothy yellow blooms are borne above scalloped, toothed grey-green foliage from June to September each year. Ideal as underplanting for shrubs or groundcover to the front of borders and at pathway edges. The plant’s name is taken from the Arabic meaning 'little magical one', because of healing properties the plant was said to have possessed. Enchantingly, Alchemilla mollis’ bright green leaves are shaped to catch the morning dew – this dew, in the Middle Ages, was thought to have magical properties. These days it certainly lends a magical quality to the garden. Alchemilla mollis likes a spot with moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil of any kind and position in sun or partial shade. It self-seeds freely in the garden so remove flowerheads immediately after blooming if this is an issue. A fully hardy), deciduous perennial, prune foliage back in late autumn or early spring. Grows to a height of 60cm and spread of 75cm.
