Overview
Cinquefoil (Potentilla neumanniana 'Nana') is a short, low-growing shrub that is native to the Himalayas. It has a compact, mound-like shape, and its deep green leaves have five leaflets that give its name. The foliage is evergreen in warm climates, turning bronze in winter. In spring and summer, it blooms bright yellow star-shaped flowers, making it an attractive addition to your garden. Cinquefoil's hardiness and minimal care requirements make it a great choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Enjoy its low-maintenance beauty and charming star-like flowers for years to come.
