Lady's mantle, also known as Alchemilla vulgaris, is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the rose family. It is native to Europe, but has also been introduced to North America, Asia and New Zealand. Lady's mantle gets its name from the shape of its leaves, which are said to resemble the cloak worn by the Virgin Mary. The plant has been traditionally used for medicinal purposes, particularly in women's health, and its leaves are also used to make a tea that is said to have a range of health benefits. Lady's mantle is also grown as an ornamental plant in gardens due to its attractive foliage and delicate, yellow-green flowers that bloom in the summer.
