Alchemilla erythropoda, also known as the dwarf lady's mantle, is a species of flowering herbaceous perennial plant native to Eastern Europe. It forms a clump of hairy, palmate leaves up to 20 cm high, with sprays of green-yellow flowers in early summer. The leaves of this plant are noted for being highly water-repellent, and may develop a reddish tinge if grown in full sun. It is valued as groundcover in cultivation, and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. It is suitable for hardiness zones 3-8, and is relatively pest- and disease-free. Medieval alchemists believed the leaves had medicinal qualities, and used them to treat women's ailments.
