Dark Crimson Cinquefoil, Himalayan Cinquefoil, Ruby Cinquefoil, Cinquefoil
Potentilla atrosanguinea (Dark Crimson Cinquefoil) is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial boasting showy, ruby red, 5-petaled flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), adorned with a dark center from early to late summer. The blossoms are borne in open sprays on wiry stems. They contrast nicely against the foliage mound of three-lobed leaves covered in silky hairs. Noted for its long blooming season, this Cinquefoil is one of the easiest plants to care for. It is perfect for adding color to a sunny border.
