This description is for Potentilla nepalensis: While most Potentilla shrubs sport bright yellow flowers, the Nepalese species boasts colours that range from ruby red to baby pink and purple to peach. Its dainty saucer-shaped flowers sit above lush green foliage that resemble those of strawberry plants. The good news is that it grows just about anywhere, and is ideal as bedding or for use in mixed borders. However, it’s important its patch is well-drained, and that it gets plenty of sun if it is going to bloom to its fullest technicolour glory.
