Sprays of tiny, star-shaped flowers and foliage that cradles raindrops make Lady's Mantle a favourite in summer gardens. Robustica Lady's Mantle grows 40-50 cm tall, a bit taller than many other varieties. Growing with a clumping, rounded habit, this perennial forms fanlike, light green foliage. Masses of yellow-green blooms cover the plant in the summertime. The flowers are long-lasting as cut flowers. Easy to grow in the sun or shade and drought tolerant, once established, Robustica Lady's Mantle is a versatile garden plant. Many gardeners like to grow it as a companion plant with roses while others mass it as a ground cover.
