'MONARCH'S VELVET'

Massed heads of deep raspberry red flowers shading to a crimson velvet centre. Long flowering and long lived. An excellent form of Potentilla thurberi.Deciduous, clump-forming, herbaceous perennial grown for divided foliage and long stems of rich red flowers. Useful for ground cover and growing amongst other perennials and shrubs, especially where shorter lived plants, such as some bulbs, may die back after flowering. Although this plant isn't so attractive when planted alone, it mingles extremely well with other perennials and the shorter ornamental grasses. Attractive to bees.
