Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla mollis) and Roses: A Perfect Combination
Lady's Mantle, also known as Alchemilla mollis, is a versatile and charming perennial that is often overlooked. But did you know that it is a perfect companion for your roses in the garden? Here are a few reasons why lady's mantle and roses make a fantastic combination.
1. Graceful Leaves and Flowers: The soft, gray-green leaves of Lady's Mantle form a beautiful contrast with the elegant, often colorful flowers of roses. The finely serrated leaf edges and the airy, yellow-green flowers provide a nice variation in texture and color.
2. Long Flowering Season: Lady's Mantle blooms from June to September, which perfectly matches the flowering period of many roses. This ensures that your garden blooms for a longer period of time and looks vibrant.
3. Support and Ground Cover: Lady's mantle's dense growth habit helps suppress weeds and keeps the soil moist. This is especially beneficial for roses, which like consistently moist soil. In addition, the leaves of lady's mantle protect the roots of roses from the bright sun and extreme temperatures.
4. Easy Care: Lady's Mantle is easy to maintain and requires little attention. It is a strong plant that thrives in different soil types and can grow in both sun and partial shade. This makes it an ideal partner for the often more demanding roses.
5. Natural Atmosphere: The combination of lady's mantle and roses gives your garden a natural, almost wild look. The loose, informal growth habit of Lady's Mantle contrasts beautifully with the formal beauty of roses, creating a balanced and harmonious whole.
Planting Tips:
- Plant lady's mantle at the base of rose bushes or in groups around rose borders.
- Provide enough space so that lady's mantle can spread and not crowd the roses.
- Provide extra water during dry periods, especially in the first years of growth, so that both plants can root well.
With lady's mantle and roses in your garden you create a picturesque scene that every garden lover will appreciate. It is a combination that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical and easy to maintain. Try this combination and enjoy a garden full of color and life!
