Cinquefoil, Potentilla neumanniana 'Nana', is a mat-forming variety that grows only 3 to 4 inches tall and can spread rapidly by runners to form a dense groundcover. The foliage is evergreen in warmer climates. Spicy-scented, strawberry-like leaves are shiny, palmate and deep green. An abundance of buttery yellow 5-petaled flowers appear in spring.
Cinquefoil will grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Afternoon shade is recommended in the hotter, southern zones where it will grow. It prefers moist, cool soils in full sun. When grown as a ground cover, it can be mowed occasionally on a high setting to trim up the plants.
Cinquefoil is an interesting ground cover for both small and large areas. It works great as a lawn in lieu of lawn grasses where there is no foot traffic. It is also effective for walls or rock gardens.

Works well holding up the steep slope behind my house. My only complaint is that you don't have more of it that I can order.
Waiting for the spring rebirth
I paid a lot for shipping, and it came two different days. One box was packed good and the other was packed with the top of the plants facing each other on their sides and smashed in a box of 20. Only 4 lived in that shipment and I wrote the company and sent them pictures of how it was shipped. I planted the good ones and several days later they ask me for pictures of the dead plants like I would have kept them. They sent me an e-mail and admitted that the packer did a rough job ,but since I didn't keep the dead plants they would not replace them. LOOK OUT IF YOU ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY
Joanie, We admitted that FedEx did a rough job handling the packages, and the pictures that you sent did not show any damaged plants just pictures of how the pots looked when they arrived with green plants still in them. Our warranty specifically states that any requests for replacements must show the number of plants damaged and pictures of those specific plants. We would happily replace any plants that died but because of abuse by previous customers, we had to start requiring photos of the dead plants. Plant material that has been tossed by FedEx or UPS are still viable plants and can be planted with good results as the root systems are the biggest determining factor as to whether a plant survives or not. Our apologies if our practices proved inconvenient for you but there have been a large number of fraudulent claims over the years that have cost us a great deal of money.
