Graceful cinquefoil is a delicate yet resilient native perennial that performs well in meadows, borders, and naturalized gardens across western North America. It prefers moderate moisture and partial to full sun, and benefits from occasional deadheading to extend its cheerful yellow blooms. Once established it requires little attention, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance pollinator gardens.
