Alchemilla sericata 'Gold Strike'

Alchemilla sericata 'Gold Strike' is a compact perennial reaching up to 35cm in height, prized for its dense mound of softly hairy, grey-green leaves that are deeply lobed with finely toothed margins. This cultivar offers an elegant texture and subtle colour contrast in garden compositions. From late spring through summer, it produces loose sprays of delicate, pale yellow flowers that add a gentle brightness without overwhelming the foliage.
