Potentilla ‘Volcan’


Hybrid Cinquefoil

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.440.240


There are several hybrid Cinquefoils that are wonderful additions to the sunny perennial border. These are cousins to the more familiar shrubby Potentilla. Plants form a low mound of strawberry-like leaves, bearing branches of cup-shaped flowers, beginning in early summer. This selection features blooms of bright scarlet, with a contrasting yellow eye. An easy and long-lived perennial. Plants may be sheared back after blooming, to rejuvenate the foliage. Division may be done in early spring or in the fall. Worth considering for mixed tubs or containers. Best in full sun.
