Ternate-leaf cinquefoil
Potentilla norvegica
Ternate-leaf cinquefoil is a tough, adaptable perennial wildflower that produces cheerful yellow blooms and thrives in disturbed soils, meadows, and garden borders with minimal care. It tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and light levels from full sun to part shade, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance naturalistic plantings. Water regularly until established, after which it requires very little attention and will reliably self-seed in suitable conditions.
