Alpine Cinquefoil is a hardy flowering shrub, blooming non-stop from June to frost with almost no care. Alpine Cinquefoil flowers in summer to fall in shades of yellow, and performs best in full sun with low watering once established. This compact shrub matures to roughly 1-2 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide. It is ideal for mixed borders, informal hedging, and foundation plantings, offering seasonal colour and lasting structure. Hardy to zones 2-7 and simple to care for, it settles in quickly and performs year after year. It tolerates dry spells well once its roots are down.
