SUN PERENNIALS

Potentilla tridentata 'Nuuq' (syn. Sibbaldiopsis tridentata) – This is the Three-toothed Cinquefoil, a terrific evergreen ground covering plant for dry sunny conditions. Pretty white flowers attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. Attractive tri-foliate notched leaves turn wine red in the autumn becoming bronzed as the temperatures turn colder.
