When to plant Ladys Mantle
Propagate ladys mantle by division in spring or autumn (NC State). It does well in any moist soil, in full sun through full shade, though leaves may scorch in full sun in drier areas; trim spent flowers to tidy the plant and reduce self-seeding.
The calendar shows this cited seasonal window as an approximate band. It does not convert the season into frost-adjusted dates.
