Cinquefoil Miss Willmott Potentilla Nepalensis is a clumping, herbaceous perennial native to the Himalayas in Nepal, and a member of the rose family. Cinquefoil seeds can be started outdoors in a cold frame, and Potentilla 
Nepalensis has shrub-like growth habit. Cinquefoil Miss Willmott forms compact mounds of a sprawling foliage with branching, wiry stems and strawberry-like leaves, and this perennial blooms all summer long producing 
charming, showy, cup-shaped, pink-purple flowers with dark centers. Cinquefoil Miss Willmott is perfect for rock gardens, cottage gardens, flower borders or containers, or mass planting as a ground cover. Potentilla 
Nepalensis seeds need light to germinate, and the established Cinquefoil is drought and cold tolerant plant that likes to grow in full sun to partial shade, and thrives in most soil conditions. Cinquefoil makes a good cut flower.
