Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Gladys Hutson | Jan 28, 2013 | I live in North Carolina, which has recently been upgraded to zone 8. I have tried to grow Lady's Mantle a couple of times,(in shade) but I lost them both. Any advise? I really like this plant.
Online sources don't quite agree on the warmest zone in which this species can be grown successfully (some say 7, others 9 - so you're right in the middle). All I know is that, unlike A. mollis, which is tough as nails, this species disappeared after a year or two in our garden. |
