Thriller Lady’s Mantle
Alchemilla mollis ‘Thriller’
1 gallon pot
 
A larger, especially floriferous selection of Lady’s Mantle, ‘Thriller’ forms lush mounds of soft, scalloped gray-green leaves that beautifully catch beads of rain and morning dew. Airy clouds of tiny chartreuse-yellow flowers rise above the foliage in late spring and early summer, providing a wonderful textural contrast to bolder perennials.
 
‘Thriller’ is valued for its larger leaves, vigorous habit, and heavier flowering compared with the species. It performs beautifully along borders, beneath shrubs and roses, or massed as a groundcover. The flowers are excellent for fresh and dried arrangements. Shearing spent flowers helps prevent unwanted seedlings and encourages fresh foliage.
