Alchemilla mollis
Lady's-Mantle
Description
Lady's Mantale is quite adaptable, growing in full sun to part shade, but can tolerate full shade. Morning dew and rain will bead up on the foliage, which is very attractive. Chartreuse flowers appear in June, which may be cut or dried. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
