Alchemilla mollis
Alchemilla mollis, commonly known as garden lady's-mantle, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the Rosaceae family native to Southern Europe. It is valued as an ornamental garden plant worldwide and is particularly prized for its soft, palmately veined leaves with scalloped and serrated margins, which display an attractive beading effect when wet due to their hydrophobic properties. The plant produces dense clusters of chartreuse yellow flowers held above the foliage and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
