Nursery contributed plant descriptions

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.
