Potentilla
Cinquefoil
Resilient undemanding perennials cherished for their long season of blooms and attractive foliage, Potentillas endure poor soil, but insist on good drainage.
Potentilla nepalensis ‘Ron Mcbeath’ (P-1814)
Each 10.00
While the somewhat sprawling species traipses throughout Nepal's Himalayan Mountains, this vivacious nonshrubby cultivar makes a compact well-groomed perennial for your garden. A handsome low mound of hairy coarse-toothed strawberry-like foliage presents 1 in. wide rosy carmine flowers, each defined by a dark crimson eye and 5 heart-shaped lipstick-pretty petals on wiry branched stems. Venerating a former plant curator at the Royal Botanic Garden in Scotland, 'Ron McBeath' makes a flashy long blooming mate for Knautia 'Mars Midget' and Geranium sanguineum 'Album'.
Blooms May–August.
Size: 8" – 12" high x 15" – 2' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 5.
