Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.
The Blister packs used to protect our beautiful herbs during transit are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled kerbside.
Lady’s Mantle is the common name used to refer to all of the Species in the Alchemilla Genus, Alchemilla xanthochlora also known as Alchemilla vugaris, is one of our native species and the species traditionally used in herbal medicine. Lady's mantel is an old-fashioned perennial plant that is still popular today for it’s fuzzy, cupped leaves that hold water droplets after a rain, and the frothy sprays of dainty yellow flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer.
Lady’s Mantle is fairly low maintenance and is ideal for edging borders or even as a groundcover, and once established, Alchemilla will self seed happily and colonise almost any area of the garden, and as it is fairly low-growing, not exceeding 30-45cm, this is a wonderful companion plant to day lilies or roses, the perfect plant for a cottage garden scheme or planted with catmint or lavender for a great colour combination.
Lady’s Mantle ahs often been used as part of a posy since medieval times and is also used in making lotions and soaps. The leaves or flowers of Alchemilla xanthochlora can be made into an infusion and put in the bath for a soothing effect.
Our potted Lady's Mantle is available to buy online between March and September.
