Potentilla hippiana (Colorado silvery cinquefoil) - MP096A Packs

Potentilla hippiana, commonly known as Colorado Silvery Cinquefoil, is a resilient perennial known for its soft, silvery-green foliage and delicate yellow blooms. Native to meadows and open woodlands of North America, this charming wildflower brings a natural, airy elegance to garden borders, rock gardens, and damp meadow plantings. Its finely textured leaves are covered in fine hairs, giving them a silvery sheen that catches the light beautifully.

From late spring through summer, Potentilla hippiana produces clusters of small, five-petaled yellow flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. It thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soils, though it is adaptable to a range of conditions once established. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it makes an excellent choice for naturalistic gardens, native planting schemes, and areas with poor or sandy soil where other plants may struggle.
