This is a relatively easy plant to grow and the flowers are popular with flower arrangers. Alchemilla mollis will perform well in full sun or light shade at the coast, inland the Lady's Mantle prefers a little more shade or at a minimum, regular water.

Alchemilla mollis grows to about a foot tall and will gradually spread to 2 feet.
