Potentilla nepalensis 'Miss Willmott'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Family: Rosaceae

From late spring through summer, this perennial will produce bright pink flowers with more deeply toned centers. Slightly fuzzy light green leaflets provide visual interest and texture through the fall.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous

Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
