    A distinctive potentilla with semi-double flowers in a very attractive medium-pink. In climates with warm summer nights the color may fade to a lighter pink. The bright-green foliage is bushy and forms a mounded shrub. Water regularly during the first year to maintain a healthy plant. Mulch to retain moisture.

    Propagation prohibited without a license.
