Lady's Mantle is a wonderful plant for the shaded garden with its tidy and compact habit. It is well suited for the front of the border or mixed with small hostas. The soft fuzzy green leaves catch tiny dew droplets and glisten in the morning sun. The fuzz also makes the leaves unappetizing to nosey deer and rabbits. Sprays of yellow or green flowers are produced in mid-spring. Plants grow very well in average gardens.
