Smooth Lady's Mantle

Smooth Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla glabra) should be watered regularly in order to keep the soil evenly moist. During the spring and summer, water it once a week or whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the fall and winter months, water it less often, about once every 2 weeks or when the top inch of soil becomes dry. Be careful not to overwater as this could cause fungal problems. Additionally, it's important to avoid getting water on the foliage as this may cause fungal diseases.

Smooth Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla glabra) needs full sun to partial shade, meaning that it should be exposed to direct sunlight up to 4 hours a day. It should not be exposed to complete shade as this can compromise its flowering and foliage growth. Direct sunlight in the early morning or late afternoon is ideal. The plant should not be exposed to the full heat of the midday sun as this could cause leaf burn or wilting. During hot summer months, providing more shade and protection from the glaring sun is essential.

Smooth Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla glabra) is best pruned in early spring - usually before new growth begins. Prune off about 1-third of the foliage at its base to promote a thicker and healthier plant, as well as to shape the plant to fit its desired location. If the plant has become too large, pruning it back to the desired size should also be done at this time. Doing so will help it to maintain its attractive shape and encourage the growth of new foliage.
