Lady's Mantle
Lady's mantle is a flowering perennial native to woodland clearings in Europe and Asia.
It has large, rounded lobed leaves that make it a beautiful companion to many other plants. Tiny chartreuse flowers bloom above the leaves from spring to summer.
In the Colorado Springs area, it requires regular moisture but is one of the most reliable perennials for part shade to full shade locations.
