An evergreen, clumping, perennial member of the Rose family. The five divided leaves are carried on slender, red tinged stems. Each leaflet is deeply veined with a serrated margin and the entire plant is softly haired and appears very much like an alpine strawberry. Throughout the warmer months, small, five petalled, rich pink, saucer shaped flowers, with a red centre, are borne singly, just above the foliage.A surprisingly tough plant for any well drained, lightly shaded position.Cut back whenever tatty for a fresh flush of growth.

Mounding perennial cinquefoil, to only 12-18" tall, with small, dark green, strawberry like leaves and lovely flowers - pink with red centers - beginning in early summer and continuing to fall. Can be sheared after blooming to refresh the foliage and perhaps encourage late blooms. Does best in sun to part shade with regular summer water. Not fussy about soil. Frost hardy in USDA zone 3.
