Potentilla thurberi ‘Monarch’s Velvet’


Red Cinquefoil

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.440.230


Totally unlike the familiar shrubby Potentilla, this is a bushy, mounding plant suited to the perennial border.

Well suited to the border, or in mixed containers. Clumps may be easily divided in spring or early fall. Drought tolerant once established.
