Potentilla ‘Gibson’s Scarlet’

This perennial’s foliage looks almost exactly like a strawberry plant’s leaves and its red flowers have about the same shape too!

The flowers appear from early to late summer on a slow spreading and mounding plant that can grow 18-24 inches high and wide.

It grows best in full sun but will tolerate some shade, and needs average to well drained soil. Wet sites can cause it to rot.

They are also deer resistant.

Hardy in zones 5-8.
