Alchemilla Alpestris Subsp. Wichurae

Alpine lady's mantle, scientifically known as Alchemilla alpestris subsp. wichurae, is a resilient plant native to high-altitude regions of the European Alps. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine meadows and mountain slopes. This hardy perennial is characterized by its dense, silver-gray foliage and clusters of small, inconspicuous flowers. Its common name reflects its appearance, which resembles a lady's mantle, with leaves that closely resemble the folds of a cloak. Despite its modest blooms, it plays an important role in supporting local wildlife and maintaining ecological balance in its harsh environment.
