Alchemilla mollis 'Thriller'


Alchemilla mollis 'Thriller'

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Clumping perennial which forms a basal foliage mound of long-stalked, circular, scallop-edged, toothed, pleated, soft-hairy, light green leaves. It is primarily native to mountain areas in eastern Europe (Carpathians, Caucusus and Turkey). Tiny, apetulous, star-shaped, chartreuse flowers appear in loose, spreading clusters on stems rising above the foliage in late spring to early summer. The tendency of plant leaves to retain moisture beads after a rain is considered to be a unique and attractive ornamental feature. Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade, but tolerates close to full shade. Prefers part afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Performs well in moist garden areas
