Lady's Mantles had magical properties that made them useful as an ingredient in potion-making. They were an ingredient in Zygmunt Budge's recipe of the Beautification Potion.

History

A diagram of a Lady's Mantle

Lady's Mantle was grown in the greenhouses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During the 1987–1988 school year, Jacob's sibling asked Professor Sprout for some Lady's Mantle before the start of a Herbology lesson in the Herbology Classroom, in order to brew a Beautification Potion which they intended to use against a Red Cap in the Forbidden Forest, to which Sprout obliged.

Throughout the 2010–2011 school year, Lady's Mantle seeds could be purchased from Gabbey the house-elf in Bewildering Blooms shop, Hogsmeade. A student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry possibly bought some for their Herbology Careers Research.

In the 2010s, innovative healer Vulpecula Bulstrode placed an order at Bewildering Blooms for twenty high quality Lady's Mantle specimens to aid her in her research about the healing properties of non-magical plants.

Behind the scenes
