Height: 5in. x 12
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Flowers: Early Summer
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bedding Plant, Borders, Garden Railroads, Groundcover, Miniature/Faery Garden, Ornamental


Here a 3" version that grows about the size of "Alpine Lady's Mantle" but has more of the typical leaves, except they are very blue-green and have rhubarb red stems. Confused yet, well suffice to say that this one looks very unique and makes a great addition to an afternoon shady faery garden, trough, or alpine garden. $ 4.79

Lady's Mantle, Dwarf Rock

Lady's Mantle, Dwarf Rock
Alchemilla glauca

Height: 3in.
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy

Blue foliage (like that of a blue spruce) distinguishes this ""Dwarf Lady's Mantle."" Compared to the standard form, it mimics the leaf shape and preference away from harsh hot sun, however, it can fit into smaller pockets, secret gardens and containers. $ 4.79

Lady's Mantle, Mini Alpine

Alchemilla farenoensis pumila
Cold Tolerance: Zone 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 9a
Light: Sun-P.Sun to Full Sun
Height: 1in. x 6
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Bedding Plant, Garden Railroads


Absolutely the smallest, shortest, most compact Lady's Mantle ever (or until we find one smaller). The sharply toothed 3/4" leaves with that wonderful silver edge absolutely hug the ground in full sun. Looks like a miniature "Bear's Breach" or rhubarb depending on scale. $ 4.79

Height: 4in. x 12
Water: Normal
Soil: Sandy-Loamy
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery


This miniature version of the popular traditional herb has a silvery edge that collects morning dew, appearing like tiny jewels. Magical rock and faery garden plant that is comfortable under almost any other plant. After flowering, it continues to look great without the "cat-sat-in-the-middle" look. $ 4.79

Lady’s Mantle, Parsley- Leaf

Alchemilla episila
Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b
Light: P.Shade-Sun
Height: 12 - 16in.
Water: Normal
Soil: Organic Sandy
Common Uses:Cut Flower, , Medicinal, , Ornamental, Shade


Smaller and more compact than "Thriller," yet I wouldn't consider it dwarf status. Instead, "Parsley leaf" is a very clean, shade loving mound from which arise the yellow flowers in summer. And guess what? The deer hate the taste of this too! $ 4.79

Lady’s Mantle, Thriller

Lady’s Mantle, Thriller
Alchemilla mollis `Thriller'
Cold Tolerance: Zone 4a 4b 5a 5b 6a 6b 7a 7b 8a 8b 9a 9b

Height: 3in.
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy

Height: 6in.
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Flowers: None
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Butterfly, Cut Flower, Groundcover, Ornamental

A favorite overwinter home for lady beetles, so it's an aid next to roses and other aphid havens. Plant under roses for contrast or in a moonlight or children's garden. Rated #1 by 3 out of 4 pre-schoolers! $ 3.79

Lamb’s Ear, Helen Von Stein

Light: Full Sun
Height: 8in.
Water: Normal
Soil: Loamy
Flowers: Middle Summer
Common Uses:Alpine Rockery, Borders, Butterfly, Cut Flower, Groundcover, Ornamental


Lady bugs rejoice! After many tries, we finally received the real thing. Six to ten inch fuzzy leaves give this variety its other name ""Big Ears"" and a warm winter home for beneficial lady beetles in the North. Holds up better in the heat and humidity, maybe because it is not as fuzzy, albeit just as fun to pet. $ 3.79

Even three weeks after we cut off the first crop of flowers, the whole area still had the marvelous fragrance. Dry easily, to preserve appearance and fragrance for a long time.

Need a lavender that rarely stops flowering year around, has nice blue flowers and tastes great too? So what's the catch? None really, except that it's not hardy below Zone 9.

Tropical, water loving grass which is popular in commercial teas, because its bold, sweet lemon flavor is released by hot water. My Southeast Asian friend spoke of literally fishing for a meal and making a lemon grass fish soup, at work, during lunch hour.

Bright green elliptical leaves give off the most scintillating lemon flavor in fruit salad, cake and sorbets.
