Alchemilla vulgaris |
Alchemilla vulgaris, common name Lady's mantle, is an herbaceous perennial plant in Europe and Greenland.[1] These perennial wildflowers, members of the rose family, are sometimes grown in gardens - mainly for their leaves, which collect sparkling water droplets.
Lady's mantle is commonly seen in unimproved or lightly fertilized grassland, on roadside verges and banks, in chalk downland and on mountain slopes.
