Lady's Mantle

Product number: 367550
Origin: Europe
Latin: Alchemilla mollis

The young leaves of this graceful plant can be eaten raw in salads for a strong extra aroma. These leaves are also used in tea blends.
As a medicinal herb, lady's mantle has a long history of internal and external use. All parts of the plant are used for this purpose; see the English text in the appendix.
The plant is, of course, also a beautiful addition to the garden: first, it forms a graceful canopy of slightly serrated, round leaves in a grey-green tint. Due to the fine hairs, dewdrops rest beautifully on them! The inflorescence is finely plume-shaped, greenish-yellow, and abundant, reaching 40 cm high. It's an easy plant for shade or semi-shade, and both the leaves and flowers are excellent for cutting.

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22° C), then a cold period in the refrigerator (approx. +4° C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible (from September to early March), then simply allow the cold to affect them; germination will occur in spring.
