Potentilla 'Arc-en-ciel' forms an attractive mound of fresh green, strawberry leaves and yellow-spotted or rimmed semi-double, red flowers in summer. It has a gentle tumbling habit, making it perfect for growing in rock gardens and containers. It’s also suitable for growing at the very front of the border.
Grow Potentilla 'Arc-en-ciel' in moist but well-drained soil in a sunny, open spot. Remove spent flowers to encourage continual blooming. Cut stems back to the ground in late winter to early spring.
