| An outstanding dwarf selection of the Bush Cinquefoil, introduced by the University of British Columbia Botanical Gardens. Plants form a low, shrubby mound of tiny olive-green leaves, bearing bright yellow flowers from spring through fall. Especially nice when massed as a groundcover but also useful as a small specimen shrub. Selected from one of our native wildflowers. Drought tolerant once established. Space at 3 to 5 plants per square yard. Registered with COPF: royalty required for propagation.
