Lady's mantle is best described as

• A. A perennial plant that needs very little sun
• B. A tropical tree
• C. A deciduous shrub
• D. An annual herb

Answer: (A)

Lady's mantle is a perennial herbaceous plant. It lives for several years, dying back to the crown in winter and regrowing each spring, rather than developing woody stems. It isn’t a tropical tree and it isn’t a woody shrub, and it isn’t an annual that completes its life in one season. In gardens it forms soft, clumping foliage with small, pale flowers and typically tolerates sun to light shade. So, the best description among the options is that it’s a perennial plant (herbaceous), rather than a tree, shrub, or annual.
