I am searching in vain for plants or seeds of this evergreen perennial (in Zone 7 at least) known as Creeping Lady's Mantle, not to be confused with Dwarf Lady's Mantle, Alchemilla alpina.

Hi Atlhotrod,

I can't find anything listed as 'creeping' Lady's mantle.  Do you have a botanical name?  You could do a google with the botanical name + seed.

The botanical name is Alchemilla ellenbeckii, it is in the title of this posting.   Yes, I have googled the name.

Sorry about not seeing the name in the title.  I get notification of new posts and don't often see the title of the post.  When I click on the link in my mail I go directly to a reply box.

If you can't find seed with the search, do try a plant or two and then collect the seed yourself.  It appears to be easy to collect.

I would be MORE than happy to find a plant - the sole purpose of this posting was to see if anyone has any SPECIFIC info on where I can find the plant AND/OR seeds.   To anyone else reading this - I have searched the net; I have searched EBay; I have searched European sites; I have called and/or visited local nurseries.  Yes, I know there is a vendor, Big Dipper Farms, that has a listing for Alchemilla ellenbeckii plants but it is and has been OUT OF STOCK.  Also, if you think you remember seeing it at a nursery several years ago, that does not help me very much either :-( 



Not everything on the internet ends up in the popular search engines and not every vendor has a complete inventory listing available to search electronically. So -- If anyone owns the plant and is willing to send me some seeds, or knows of a vendor/web address I can mail order it from, that would be helpful and greatly appreciated!
