Description: This wildflower has bright pretty blooms on tall stems that work well in meadow plantings or in the middle of large flowerbeds. Its drought tolerance is indicated by the attractive silvery-green foliage which is frosted with shades of pink and orange in the fall. It has good presence in large landscapes but can also be an attractive addition to urban gardens due to its non-aggressive nature. It's a good choice for rock gardens, and potentilla is a favorite of Bees.

Found in Nature: Dry open sites, grasslands, open woodlands and exposed hillsides.

Distribution: Prairie Foothills and Montane
