Potentilla palustris (Marsh cinquefoil)

Potentilla palustris (Marsh cinquefoil) is another very useful native plant for forming a shading raft at the pond edge, the red stems produce bluish green dissected and crimped leaves and pretty nodding maroon flowers. Not at all invasive and well suited to smaller ponds. It’s a bit leggy to start with, but eventually forms a multi-branching low canopy. The stems persist through winter, giving valuable habitat in early Spring. One of my favourites.

AVAILABILITY:

From April to August, single bare root plants or single P9 pots will only be available as part of a Pick and Mix pack or as a component of various other pond packs. Multiples of x 10 bare root plants, packs of three P9 pots and various larger potted options will be available all year subject to seasonality.
