Potentilla atrosanguinea 'Argyrophylla'
Potentilla atrosanguinea 'Argyrophylla' has foliage somewhat resembling strawberry leaves, covered with fine silky hairs. The flowers are bright yellow with small orange flares at the centre, and blooming from mid Summer to early Autumn. These plants are generally pest and disease free.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Mid Autumn
Potentilla flowers freely through the summer, often well into autumn. Cut back flower stems, except for P. fruticosa varieties, as flowers fade.
Planting
From Late Autumn TO Early Spring
Plant from autumn to spring in any moderately fertile and well-drained soil except P. crantzii, P. cuneata and P. nitida, which need a gritty, poor soil if they are to produce a good display of flowers. All potentillas prefer a sunny situation.
