Cultivation and Propagation

Alchemilla hirsuto-petiolata can be propagated by seed or by division of the root crown. Seeds should be sown in spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division of the root crown can be done in early spring or autumn. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in a cold frame until they are established.
