Alpine Lady's Mantle

This is one of my favorite passalong plants for several reasons.  It blooms early and is not bothered by frost.  It has pretty shiny green foliage all year long.

It tends to spread a bit, but it is not offensively invasive.  If you don't like its traveling, it is easy to pull out.  Its most noticeable quality is the long-lasting green blossoms.

It can easily be shared with friends and neighbors.  I got mine perhaps twenty years ago from my mother's neighbor.  I am sure some nurseries must carry it, but it doesn't seem readily available. It was the only thing at my plant sale that a real plant expert found that she didn't already have.
