Rock Lady's Mantle

Clustered Lady's Mantle should be watered lightly throughout the growing season. The best time to water these plants is in the morning, as this helps reduce the chance of disease caused by fungal infection. To keep the soil evenly moist, soak the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches every 7-10 days, making sure to allow excess water to drain away before the next watering. During especially hot periods, the soil may require more frequent watering, while cool and cloudy days may require less frequent watering. During periods of drought, the plant should be watered more deeply and less often.

Clustered Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla glomerulans) thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight for most of the day. It enjoys full sun for 4 to 5 hours per day, but direct sunlight should be avoided. To ensure the best growth and health of the plant, allowing the sun to filter through a sheer curtain can be beneficial. Avoiding exposure to direct sun in the afternoon is advised as this can cause stress and harm the long-term health of the plant. Early morning and evening sun is best for the plant species and any additional light during these times can be beneficial.

Clustered Lady's Mantle should be lightly pruned in late winter before any new growth emerges. Pruning can be done either by removing any dead or damaged branches or by simply cutting the plant back by a third. This will help to keep the plant tidy and should be done every 2 to 3 years. Remove any old or damaged flower heads once they have faded during the growing season.
