Alchemilla Hoppeana Subsp. Anisiaca

Alchemilla hoppeana subsp. anisiaca is a lesser-known member of the Rosaceae family known for its delicate, fern-like foliage and clusters of small, yellowish-green flowers. Native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, this plant thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in rocky or alpine habitats. Its common name, "Ladies' Mantle," refers to the protective, velvety leaves that resemble a cloak. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles compared to other alchemilla species. This subspecies is valued for its ornamental appeal and ability to thrive in shaded gardens, making it a unique addition to native plant collections.
