Alchemilla alpina (Alpine Lady's-mantle)
This unusual Lady's-mantle species is more delicate than the common species, and is especially striking massed at the edge of a shady or partially-shady border or sidewalk edge, or as a feature in a rock garden.
The leaves are strikingly silvery edged and divided like delicate palm fronds, with sprays of chartreuse flowers rising up from spring through mid-summer. Each plant spreads out about 12 in. wide, while staying fairly low, with the flower clusters getting up to 6-8 in. tall.
An easy-care plant that is highly adaptable to various conditions, it's most drought tolerant given a bit of shade, and is tolerant of full shade (it will need a bit of water in sun). Native to montane areas in Europe and Greenland.
