We moved here late last fall and have this plant growing in a 30 foot row along the fence.In the winter they die off and you see nothing but early spring it comes up again. It's now almost mid June and they are about 2 ft across.

It's Lady's Mantle. A semi-shade loving plant that's known for holding silvery water droplets.

yes, Lady's Mantle. As Kristin said, it hold water droplets that look like little diamonds. I have some red coral bells near mine, they compliment each other.

Great plant, and excellent with coral bells, as Peg says, and also Japanese anemone.

Love lady's mantle. Don't have one here at this house. Mine in New England never self sowed :(. You are very blessed to have them. http://www.theherbalzone.com/herbdirectory/alchemilla-xanthochlora.php Look at the above to understand the history of them. Don't dig em up! Give em away to someone if you want fewer of them. I want 1 or 3 or 5! Enjoy.

Mary Lou, Ladies Mantle is from the "alchemilla" family, Coral Bells are from the "heuchera" family, different plants but similar in looks and good companion plants. I have some coral bells with gold leaves and another with a caramel colored, they are wonderful!
