Potentilla
Cinquefoil
Resilient undemanding perennials cherished for their long season of blooms and attractive foliage, Potentillas endure poor soil, but insist on good drainage.
Hailing from the lower slopes of the Himalayas, this strong perennial is named for its vibrant saucer-shaped blood red flowers borne on widely branching leafy stems. The neatly toothed long-petioled silver-gray foliage sports silky hairs on the upper surface and a white tomentose below. Well-suited for a front or midborder location, Potentilla atrosanguinea’s good-looking bearing performs best in cool summer areas and tolerates dry conditions once established.
Blooms June–August
