Potentilla Gracilis – This perennial is also known as the Slender Cinquefoil or the Graceful Cinquefoil. It is multi-stemmed, slender, and has five petals, almost rose-like. It can be pale to bright yellow in color and is considered showy. It is part of the Rosaceae family and is vigorous. They can be grown in either full sun or partial shade and will grow between 2 - 3 feet tall. It is low maintenance but performs poorly in hot or humid conditions, so if you live in a place that has hot and humid summers, be sure to be mindful of that. These flowers are drought tolerant though. Butterflies and bees love this plant, and it does well in open spaces. It gets its name from the Latin word Potens, meaning powerful, and Cinquefoil comes from quinque, meaning five, and folium meaning leaf. Don’t miss out on this flower seed find, these flowers will give a nice ray of sunshine to any garden!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
