Alchemilla 'Auslese'

Since this variety reaches a mature width of 18 inches, you should space them approximately 15 to 18 inches apart if you want them to eventually touch and form a continuous groundcover.

This perennial is hardy in zones 3 through 8, meaning it is quite cold-tolerant and can withstand freezing temperatures throughout most of the United States.

Yes, its clumping habit makes it well-suited for containers. Just ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes, as this plant prefers well-drained soil and does not like to sit in standing water.

It is quite versatile and will perform well in both full sun and partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the foliage from scorching.

Once the lime-green flowers begin to look spent, you can shear the plant back to encourage a fresh flush of foliage. This helps maintain its tidy, uniform appearance throughout the remainder of the season.
