Lady’s Mantle Species – Alchemilla Species

The lady’s mantle is a perennial perennial. It reaches a growth height of approx. 30 cm.

The leaves are long stemmed, round and seven to eleven-lobed with hand-like nerve and toothed leaf edge. A dewdrop in the form of water is formed on the leaves, especially at night, which is excreted from special pores.

The yellow-green flowers, which are only a few millimetres in size, stand in branched inflorescences. Since the lady’s mantle can also reproduce asexually, a great variety of forms has developed that can only be distinguished by specialists.
