Alchemilla mollis
‘Auslese’
at Digging Dog
Lady’s Mantle
You might not transmute gold with
Alchemilla, but foamy clusters of tiny, starlike flowers in
brilliant chartreuse will materialize above beautifully
scalloped, slightly toothed foliage. A contrast of
forms, Alchemilla was used to collect dewdrops in the
medieval preparation of the Philosopher’s
Stone. We find the way moisture collects and moves
like mercury on the pale green leaves always
magical. Whether fresh or dried, the flowers are a favored
addition to any bouquet. Alchemilla mollis ‘Auslese’ 
Profuse sprays of yellow-green frothy flowers adorn
a mound of lush gray-green foliage, much larger
than our other Alchemilla offerings. The leaves alone
will enhance the foreground of any perennial
border. ‘Auslese’ prefers cool moist soil, so
we oblige by planting it in a woodland setting under
a high canopy.
Blooms April–mid-August. Size: 15"–18" high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Alchemilla mollis Auslese (P-0478)
