CARE
Care Thrives in lightly acidic, moist, well-drained soils. Shelter from harsh afternoon sun in hot summer regions. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, maintain evenly moist soil. Remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Deadhead spent blooms promptly to minimize reseeding.
HISTORY
Lore Alchemilla was so named because its natural silvered leaf was thought to influence metals in the ancient art of alchemy.
