Potentilla × hopwoodiana


Pink Cinquefoil

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.440.040


Perennial Cinquefoil are mound-forming plants suited to the sunny perennial border. These are cousins to the more familiar shrubby Potentilla. This variety has green strawberry-like leaves, bearing sprays of saucer-shaped bicolor flowers of pale salmon-pink and cream with a dark-red eye. Trim off faded flower stems to encourage more buds to form. Plants may be sheared back after blooming, to rejuvenate the foliage. Division may be done in early spring or in the fall. Cut back to the ground in spring. Downy or powdery mildew is sometimes a problem. Possibly hardy to Zone 3.
