This Cinquefoil is a low mound or tuft-forming plant, nice for edging or growing in the rock garden. Single yellow buttercup flowers nestle among the small shiny-green leaves starting in late spring. Very little maintenance is required. Easily divided in spring or early fall by digging up the clump and ripping apart into smaller pieces. Requires good drainage. Evergreen in mild winter regions.
