Alchemilla mollis 'Irish Silk'
Alchemilla mollis 'Irish Silk' is a refined and compact form of Lady's Mantle, prized for its neat, well-defined mounds of softly pleated mid-green foliage. In late spring, airy sprays of small yellow flowers rise above the leaves, creating a delicate, frothy display that brightens borders and containers.
This reliable perennial is ideal for edging pathways, softening the front of borders, and weaving through mixed planting schemes. Its compact habit and elegant appearance make it particularly useful in smaller gardens, while the flowers blend beautifully with roses and cottage garden favourites.
Exceptionally easy to grow and tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, 'Irish Silk' is also highly attractive to bees and provides excellent material for fresh or dried flower arrangements.
