Description: Graceful blooms in the summer sway on the breeze above low leafy deeply serrated foliage which altogether presents an attractive form. This is a larger Cinquefoil and gets its name from the tall flower-topped stems that sway gracefully in the breeze. The fall foliage color is stunning with brilliant pink/red and orange hues that light up the landscape from September until freeze up.
