Hi,

Please can somebody help me identify this plant. It has been in our beds
since we moved in over a year ago and I cannot find it in any garden
centres etc.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Nicky

I would say it is the alpine alchemilla mollis.

With a shiny leaf and a white edge to it? A. mollis isn't sharply
divided in that way, it's grey-green, 'felted', not shiny.


But alchemilla alpina is.

That's the one I had in mind, got name wrong, sorry.
It's one I love but can't seem to grow.
